Description from the creator

Typewriters are rather complicated little machines, but once you get to know how to use them, they aren't too bad. This video covers the basics of using typewriters. If you have a different typewriter (the chances are great) all of the levers/switches shown in the video are probably in similar spots. However, this typewriter does not have a ribbon color selector or a ribbon reverse switch so I could not cover using these features.

Things covered in the video (not in exact order):
1. Parts of a Typewriter
2. How to insert paper into the carriage.
3. How to substitute for "missing keys" Ex: 1, !, division key... etc.
4. How to make borders using a typewriter.
5. Basic typing on a typewriter.
6. How to clear/set margins.

If you have any questions, feel free to ask away in the comments.
