Typewriter Heaven: Underwood
http://typewriterheaven.blogspot.com/p/underwood.html
Typing for peace, democracy, and the glory of the Typosphere. This one was £15 from a chap in Harrow an was collected personally by my nephew. Unlike the earlier Remington Noiselsss Portable, this post-WW2 model has plastic key tops instead of glass, and plastic ribbon covers instead of being painted and chromed metal. These are not flat but "pringled" over time. I tried immersion in very hot water to flatten. Result: still pringled - now discoloured also. This looked interesting on ebay! Caught in the n...

Typing for peace, democracy, and the glory of the Typosphere. Bonus features: tabulator, hidden touch control, absolutely amazing ribbon advance, quick release card guides. A gift from Mr. Len. Not sure who did whom the bigger favour. Entre lever on the face plate is to adjust the keystroke pressure: "touch control". Like new, inside and out. Works beautifully.
