Typewriter central

A mother of a page about typewriter collecting. Unfortunately, the webmaster has decided to forsake download time for high quality pictures. It's a drag waiting for everything to finish loading, but the .jpegs *are* pretty gorgeous. Newbies and seasoned type-o-files will find plenty of tantalizing material here--the section on Richard Polt's collection alone is staggering, especially since he only started six years ago. Other reasons to visit: tips on typewriter restoration, a glossary of parts, a brief history of typewriters, and much more, including an essay on the "metaphysical significance of writing machines." A fun and well-executed resource, whether you're a collector or not.
