Huge Typewriter Really Works
SO HUGE that its keys must be operated with the feet, a mammoth typewriter has been placed on exhibition at Atlantic City, N. J. One of its giant type bars is seen about to strike, above, as a champion typist dictates a challenge to rivals.
Someone should recreate this photo using modern technology.

Dang!
I keep posting comments, and nothing happens!
Google for “Giant Keyboard” and skip the musical ones (as seen in the motion picture “Big”).
Jayssell: Fixed. Sorry about that, for some reason Askimet marked your comment as spam. It shouldn’t do that again, but if you have that problem again please email me and I’ll fix it. It did that to stannous once too. I’m not sure why.

That’s interesting: The “world’s champion typist†is a guy. You wouldn’t expect that.
