The 1936 Klein-Urania typewriter

Описание к видео The 1936 Klein-Urania typewriter

Here I present my 1936 Klein-Urania typewriter. As you will see, compared to the portable typewriters I have already shown, this machine uses a rather different approach to conveying motion from the keys to the typebars. This machine is the 114th addition to my collection.

Since this is a longer video, I recommend looking through the timestamps below for areas of interest.

See https://saechsischeschreibmaschinen.c..., https://oztypewriter.blogspot.com/201..., https://davistypewriters.blogspot.com..., and https://typewriterdatabase.com/urania... for more information. My 1911 Urania No. 1 (s/n 2621) happens to be the same one from the Tilman Elster collection as is shown in https://web.archive.org/web/200910280..., however it ended up in the hands of a prominent Spanish eBay typewriter seller.

2023+: Programming, computer architecture, model ship building, worldbuilding?, conlangs?, philosophy?
2024+?: Independent watchmaking, making unique typewriters from scratch, "revolutionizing" the concert grand.
