1950s Zurich typewriter repair shop
Have a view inside the Baggenstos typewriter repair shop, Zurich, ca. 1953. August Baggenstos and his HERMAG distribution company was the general representative of Hermes typewriters for the German speaking part of Switzerland.

Love these photos. Especially the expression shots of the technitians. And my, what an awful lot of Hermes love!
ResponderBorrarVery interesting photos.
ResponderBorrarThey look like they're having a great time. We need to establish a typospherian makerspace like this!
ResponderBorrarGood idea! Let's think about how to do this.
BorrarA typerspace has to be located in a city with a certain critical mass of people who love typewriters. Fortunately the numbers are growing. Even in a small city like Cincinnati (about 1,000,000 people in the metropolitan area) we are approaching the point where such a thing could work. It could be connected to an existing makerspace, or it could be an independent project.
