Varityping in Dietwil
Dietwil, Switzerland, has proven to be an epicentre of typewriter science. Yesterday we set out to explore Alfred's Varityper, # 512326 20. There was a question mark as to its functionality at first, but we gradually lifted the cobwebs and found it working.

Excellent photos of a great machine, and look at all those type shuttles! :D
ResponderBorrarLove the slow-mo-pipe smoking video too (:
This machine looks funny! It's just like it's smiling all it's teeth at you from happiness.
ResponderBorrarIt does - it's like a Volkswagen Beetle.
BorrarWhat a machine! That's an interesting typeface you have there. I'm not sure if I would want one of these machines myself, as the would be so damn hard to move. But still! Great stuff.
ResponderBorrarI refer to my next post :)
BorrarYou got your weight-lifting exercise today.
ResponderBorrarThat's true, I can feel it today.
BorrarLooks like a cross between a typewriter and a parking meter!
ResponderBorrarI remember reading about this machine on Richard's website a while back but your post really adds because of the detail. It is an extraordinarily strange and wonderful machine. It does look quite heavy. Weight distribution - is it front or back heavy?
ResponderBorrarWhen taken at the handles, rather evenly distributed.
BorrarSanta has a Varityper. They both have charming expressions but I hope the Varityper never billows smoke like that.
