Rightly or wrongly I'm sure a vanishing number of people at that time would have held your view.

You've got to remember the historical context of this ad. During World War II all but one typewriter manufacturer in the US ceased production of typewriters and the one remaining was really producing machines for the military. This ad from 1943 actually says in tiny print at the bottom: "Royal is making bullets, and parts for airplane engines, propellers, machine guns, rifles." Civilian groups did drives to collect typewriters to send them to the war effort. Many of the extant and upcoming generation of typewriter repairmen went off to the war effort. All this against the backdrop of people being used to taking their machines (especially office ones in use 8 hours a day) in for service every year or so for cleaning and adjustment. Most office typewriters of the time were in use for an average of 3 years before requiring complete overhauls or replacement. In addition to all of the other things being rationed, typewriters and typewriter service were also being heavily rationed, particularly because the manpower and steel was being diverted heavily to the war effort.

At the time, most typewriters were in the $125-200 range which is the equivalent to about $1,500 now. They were trying to help people preserve their machines and functionality. This was at a time when almost any sizeable town in the US had at least one repair shop busy with work. A city the size of Chicago probably had several dozens of repair shops working full time and that likely dropped to just a few during the war. (There's only one now, and it's only been open for a few years; it also has a wait list of several months for service because it's so busy.)

The issue of typewriter preservation was so great during the war that the U.S. Navy produced a series of videos about their proper use and maintenance of them *and other expensive office machines of the time). See videos at https://boffosocko.com/2025/06/06/typewriter-use-and-maintenance-for-beginning-to-intermediate-typists/ The government also got involved in creating maintenance manuals like Basic Typewriter Care and Maintenance, Equipment Maintenance Series No. 1 (US FWIP, 1945) and repair manuals like War Department Technical Manual TM 37-305: Typewriter Maintenance (1944) which is essentially the same as the [1945 Ames manual[(https://site.xavier.edu/polt/typewriters/AmesVol1-Standards.pdf).

Comparing this with today when the general value of typewriters is almost nil and we're lucky to have a few dozen professional typewriter repair shops still operating, but the rate of retirements and deaths has long been outstripping the replacement rate and you'll understand why self-service is necessary. Even given this, the number of typewriter fora on the internet, Facebook, Reddit, etc. the amount of tinkering knowledge is almost cripplingly bad but seems to chug along. You'll notice that there are an awful lot of people just trying to identify their machines much less carry out the most basic repairs. The number of "broken machines" I've acquired in my collection that only needed the ribbon color selector set to something besides "stencil" is a sad indicator of the state of typewriter knowledge now, much less what it may have been in their heyday, tinkering or not.

Even by 1983 as typewriters were already beginning to feel the pressure from the computer business, books like Bryan Kravitz and Nancy Gorrell's Hints for a Happy Typewriter were attempting to educate people on proper maintenance and light repair before needing to rely on repair shops that were already starting to feel the pinch.

Incidentally, IBM wasn't what put most typewriter companies out of business. It was vicious competition caused by offshoring and the cheapening of parts and materials while computers in general did the rest. And as for all those typewriter repair shops: most began selling/servicing word processors, office machines like fax machines, photo copiers, dictaphones, and even computers.

On the paper guide, it definitely looks like a bend it back into shape issue.

While your model is obviously decaled as "Postal Telegraph", it's not a traditional mill machine as those are generally marked by having no lower case characters and having uppercase only. Sometimes it was uppercase with some "filler character" (often a + on Remingtons, a ~ on Underwoods, and a double dot on Olivettis) or uppercase on both the top and bottom of the slug. Generally the zero character had a slash through it to distinguish it specifically from the letter "O".

There are only two other exemplars on the typewriter database, so please be sure to upload your photos and data when you get a chance. https://typewriterdatabase.com/Remington.10+Postal+Telegraph.42.bmys You'll notice that one of the examplars by u/jbhusker doesn't appear to be a traditional mill while the other is. Perhaps James has some unwritten research on his Remington Postal Telegraph?

If you sift through the typewriter database you'll find other examples and research (especially if you're looking at commentary under individual examples while you're logged in).

Olympias were imported into the US from the 50s into the 70s and were manufactured at peak typewriter engineering and manufacturing methods before machines slowly got cheaper and cheaper in terms of materials and craftsmanship through the 60s and into the early 80s before typewriters were subsumed by the word processor market.

Compared to Smith-Coronas and Remingtons of the 50s and early 60s (their peaks), Olympias are slightly better manufactured in terms of fit and finish. They're also slightly more modern looking in terms of body shapes and colors compared to other machines, which also helps to drive up price amongst collectors.

Now is an Olympia SM3 or SM9 really so much better than a Smith-Corona Silent Super that they should enjoy an almost 2x jump in price for an unserviced model? Potentially not, but if this is your issue, then buy something from a professional shop that's been cleaned, oiled, and adjusted and a lot of the price differential evaporates.

History of discovery of Rosetta Stone

(...on July 15, 1799, during Napoleon Bonaparte’s Egyptian campaign, a French soldier Pierre Bouchard discovered a black basalt slab inscribed with ancient writing near the town of Rosetta, about 35 miles east of Alexandria. The irregularly shaped stone contained fragments of passages written in three different scripts: Greek, Egyptian hieroglyphics and Egyptian demotic. The ancient Greek on the Rosetta Stone told archaeologists that it was inscribed by priests honoring the king of Egypt, Ptolemy V, in the second century B.C. More startlingly, the Greek passage announced that the three scripts were all of identical meaning. The artifact thus held the key to solving the riddle of hieroglyphics, a written language that had been “dead” for nearly 2,000 years.) For rest of the article click Rosetta Stone Found

Thales did not propound the plurality of worlds. This is historically inaccurate. Pluralistic cosmology (multiple worlds from the indefinite apeiron) is suggested to be sourced from Anaximander - though, this is a very loose historical interpretation of his works.

Aborigines mention cave paintings are self-portraits made by gods from the sky. The creation gods who came from the sky (or the sea in some accounts) in the Dreamtime were the Wandjina. It's difficult to necessarily associate them as extraterrestrial since they are also posited to have originated with clouds, rain, fertility, and the creation of the land and its people. This needs more references to validate the claim.

Early theories of astrobiology include Christian Huygens speculating on forms of extraterrestrial life in Cosmotheros (Latin for "Beholder of the Cosmos") (1698). This may be the first scientific speculation about astrobiology. This is difficult to state outright since authors were fantasizing about life on planets - see Lucian of Samosata's 2nd century work "A True Story" and Voltaire's 1752 novella "Le Micromégas" about beings from Sirius.

Clearly, the poem’s closing declaration has reverberated far beyond Victorian poetry. T. S. Eliot draws on its ruinous landscape in "The Waste Land", while Stephen King’s Dark Tower series recasts Roland’s quest as the foundation of his expansive fantasy epic. Its influence continues across speculative fiction: Alan Garner’s Elidor reimagines Roland as a modern quester, Roger Zelazny alludes to Browning in Sign of the Unicorn, Philip José Farmer quotes the poem in The Dark Design, John Connolly features it in The Book of Lost Things, and Alastair Reynolds names a doomed explorer Roland Childe in Diamond Dogs. These afterlives reveal the poem’s flexibility, as each era reshapes the Tower according to its own anxieties. Readers encountering the Tower today therein participate in a long tradition of reinterpretation, proving that Browning’s ambiguous ending is part of what gives the poem lasting cultural life.

Critics have long debated the meaning of Roland’s final gesture, which many read as a transformation of the quest’s traditional moment of triumph. Brandon Moen compares Roland’s horn-blast to The Road, where the father and son’s survival takes the place of moral salvation. Ronald Primeau compares the poem to “Man Against the Sky” calling the moment “triumphant futility” (Primeau 223). Roland gains neither glory nor salvation, yet he refuses despair. Together, these readings suggest that Browning reshapes the romance ending into a model of existential commitment that resonates across literary periods, making Roland a prototype for later heroes who persist without hope.

The name “Apollyon” from Revelation 9:11 signals a theological crisis. By referencing a demonic presence from both scripture and Paradise Lost, where Milton casts Apollyon among the forces of Hell, Browning frames Roland’s journey as a passage through a world abandoned by providence. As Christopher MacKenna argues, the poem reflects a nineteenth-century “crisis of faith… [and] of knowing/meaning” (MacKenna 475). In a world “without light or redemptive purpose, ” Victorian readers, facing Darwinian science, biblical criticism, and rapid social change, often felt the same disorientation and loss of certainty as Roland (MacKenna 478). Thus, Browning created an image, the Tower, that became a touchstone for future generations confronting existential crises, helping to explain its powerful afterlives in later literature.

This 1859 painting by Thomas Moran, inspired directly by Browning’s “Childe Roland,” visualizes the poem’s barren and hostile terrain. Turbulent clouds, jagged rocks, and desolate expanses dramatize the emotional weight of the quest. Additionally, the fiery, ominous sky evokes Romantic and Sublime traditions, but instead of ennobling Roland’s journey, the natural grandeur seems to overwhelm him. Rather than a knight striding toward a glorious destiny, the lone figure of Roland, dwarfed by the vast landscape, gazes toward the distant, looming tower. By pairing the poem with such imagery, anthology audiences can more fully experience the poem’s tension between heroic aspiration and environmental hostility. This artistic reimagining also shows how the Tower’s imagery quickly began to shape visual as well as literary culture.

When Roland recalls “the knights who to the Dark Tower’s search addressed,” he gestures toward a centuries-old literary tradition. The name Roland first appears in the eleventh-century La Chanson de Roland, a French chanson de geste celebrating the knight’s heroism at Roncevaux Pass under Charlemagne. In 1595, George Peele revived the name in The Old Wives’ Tale. Then, Robert Jamieson recorded a folk version of the tale and placed it within Arthurian legend, making Roland the son of Arthur and Guinevere. Joseph Jacobs’s English Fairy Tales, pictured below, adopted Jaimeson’s version and introduced the “Dark Tower” as the dwelling of the King of Elfland, where Roland must save his sister. Where earlier Rolands fought or rescued, Browning’s hero merely endures, stripped of glory or divine purpose. With this history in mind, this scene helps capture part of why “Childe Roland” continues to haunt later writers. Its hero perseveres not because he hopes to succeed, but because turning back would mean erasing the meaning of every struggle that came before.

Browning opens his poem by overturning one of the oldest conventions of the quest romance in which the wise guide sets the hero on his way. The “hoary cripple” parodies that archetype, and his supposed direction is offered through deceit rather than wisdom. This ironic inversion signals that Roland’s journey, before it even begins, will be fraught with suspicion, fatigue, and self-doubt. Virginia Blain argues this encounter also exposes a deeper Victorian fear of failed masculinity. The cripple’s leer, Roland’s disgust, and the absence of women and redemptive love mirrors what Blain calls Browning’s “homosexual panic,” a symptom of the age’s broader struggle to define masculinity amid social change (Blain). Blain’s reading consequently joins the long critical tradition of reshaping “Childe Roland” to mirror contemporary concerns. In her hands, the poem becomes a reflection of Victorian gender anxiety, just as later critics and artists would recast it to speak to their own cultural and psychological landscapes.

Browning takes his title from King Lear, where Edgar, disguised as Poor Tom, mutters the phrase in the midst of feigned madness. In Shakespeare, the phrase carries no narrative function and is without clear meaning. However, Browning recontextualizes the fragment and expands it into a fully imagined landscape of interior ruin, retaining the original atmosphere of delirium while reshaping it into an existential quest. By transforming a line without context into a sustained meditation on purpose and persistence, Browning creates an interpretive void that later readers and artists repeatedly fill, fueling the poem’s evolving cultural afterlife within literary and critical discourse.

This is a really cool observation about how Canadian historians are using the internet. It shows that they've made successful websites like NiCHE and Active History. These are great examples because they prove that you can use simple tools like social media to share history with the public. It tells us that the history of the internet in Canada isn't just a technical story it's a story about making history a more public and accessible thing.

This is an important piece of information because it states that the history of the internet in Canada is not studied enough by scholars. I already know that most people focus on the American ARPANET, but this tells me there are whole histories, like the one about SAMSON, that historians are only just starting to uncover. As Canadians we need to look for Canadian-specific sources, not just general ones.

This concept of visualizing data as "streams visualizing the ebb and flow of coins over the centuries" is highly relevant to my research. I need to show change over time, specifically the sudden drop in coins or shift in material (like the debasement of currency) that occurs during and immediately after the plague years (1347-1351). This idea of "dynamic streams" helps me think past a static map and towards visualizing economic instability and recovery across Europe.

If we only record an event's details in a rigid structured database, we create dark data. This is the subjective human wisdom which is the feelings, fear, or conflicts that are/could be found in a diary. The database intentionally leaves this wisdom behind because it is too ambiguous to fit its focus on measurable facts.

When analyzing archival documents, we must use unique, permanent identifiers for each document. This is an ethical duty because it ensures that future researchers can trace the data's original source and context (who found it, where it's stored), preventing errors and making data reusable.

from where does he draw the idea "code-script"? Is it from the developing information theory of the time? Somewhere else?

There is definitely the idea of a code running in the sense of programming, which was likely not a common conceptualization at the time.

On p. 22 he uses the phrase "law-code" which is likely the closer meaning of code he's using and not the sense of genetic code as understood much later when DNA and the underlying protein coding sequences were unraveled.

Morse code may also be a tangential underlying meaning of his sense of "code" as something unknown but potentially revealable.

An Orga Privat and its History by [[Will Davis]]

Bing Werke was the manufacturer and Orga was the distributor.

Piece of wood used to replace the rear legs of the typewriter to set it up by whittling.

A cut-rate typewriter without all the bells and whistles.

Sadly they only used a very narrow focus on the digital here. I guess there is a lot more possible with digital approaches in Jewish history than talking about games and digital editions.

Jewish history only peripheral part of history in games.

Well, yes history in games is rarely accurate and this also okay. The main purpose is entertainment. We need a culture that recognizes that a game can still teach some things about history (e.g. how does persecution work). And also show perspectives about history. ALSO: Its not a question if games are educational, people will always use them to passively or actively educate themself about history.

Bit sad, that we still need to do this introductions. Digital Humanities is around for so long, but even if we reference this in introductions its still news for some.

Can we still speak of Digital Humanties methods as "new" (or even "new" to a certain subfield)? This seems a bit weird in 2025. Digital approaches are around since at least the 60s/70s. This also perpetual state of "novelty" also does not help Digital Humanities, a certain kind of normalising would be more helpful.

This is more like it, historical accounts can deliver political messages and show the way not to better political decision making but a better living together.

I guess this might be rooted in Plampers generation, as somebody born much later this identity was nothing but a myth to me -- and I do not know a lot in my generation that would share the idea of a homogeneous identity.
