But, I stand by my statement that there are better writing machines. They're good, but not great. But they certainly type better than, say, a Cole Steel or a Rooy. <br /><br />After all, I have so many of these machines - I can't say that I think they are terrible.

I wonder what the difference is compared to the Baby. Looking at your photos they appear identical. <br /><br />Recently I compared the Rocket with two other candidates for travel typing; an Olympia SF that arrived in excellent shape here in Northern California all the way from Germany, and a Lettera 32. All three produce nice crisp type and have no issues. But the relatively solid feel and sound of the Rocket compared to the other two, as well as its compactness, have kept it on the RV packing list.TonysVisionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12004608151032301174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-49804781918392741382013-06-20T20:32:26.284-07:002013-06-20T20:32:26.284-07:00very nice!
