Henry Dreyfuss designed the style 3, 5 and 6 cases. The style 4 is a modification of style 3 and may also have been designed by Dreyfuss.

Dreyfuss continued his studies as an apprentice to Norman Bel Geddes(below), completing them in 1924.

Last week, the public was meeting thie answer hereDreyfuss touch in four more conveniences:

For such work, Dreyfuss collects an annual income greater than $2,000,000, a healthy slice of the approximately $25,000,000 which business spends on industrial design in America. There are about 30 people on the Dreyfuss payroll in his New York and California offices. The boss shuttles between the two.

Before redesigning a tractor, Dreyfuss drove one for days. When he almost ran over his assistant because he couldn’t see him in time, he redesigned the tractor for visibility. Dreyfuss also found that farmers lost fingers in exposed tractor gears, corn pickers, and other farm implements. He fixed it so that the gears and chains were enclosed.

The average American is seldom far removed from Henry Dreyfuss’s influence. When he picks up a Bell telephone, rides a John Deere tractor, scoots a Hoover vacuum over a rug, writes with an Eversharp pen, pounds a Royal Typewriter, awakens to a Westclox Big Ben, thumbs a Minneapolis-Honeywell thermostat, sprawls in a Statler Hotel room in Washington, yanks open the door of a GE refrigerator, focuses an Ansco camera, shoots a 105millimeter ack-ack gun, or swats a fly with a U.S. Manufacturing €orp. fly swatter, he is utilizing Henry Dreyfuss’s skill and pay-‘ing him a tribute which runs annually intoseven figures.

DESIGN:The Dreyfuss Touch

As for Dreyfuss citing earlier Sundberg designs as influencial , try looking up the patent for the Remington 26.

Sundberg’s first typewriter design was for IBM in 1955. This was for what we generally call the IBM Executive (Model C/Model 41);

A really nice example of a model from the birth of Remington's Quiet-Riter line. The bulbous styling bears some resemblance to Henry Dreyfuss' Mercury steam locomotive engine from 1938, but the typewriter itself includes modern conveniences such as segment shift and tab set and clear at the keyboard.

I’ve seen plenty Royal Dreyfuss Quiet DeLuxe typewriters that are the gold metal plated anniversary edition.
