new project

Here is a STW10 Friden calculator


The same as here in Katherine Johnson's (true life Hidden Figures character)
I started liking the idea of Manual typewriters, but considering my job, the calculator works better.  It does not work yet, I do not have a cord.  It needs a lot of cleaning.

I have found many helpful links, including the Service Manual from the Internet Archive.

This video has a hand crank that you can use for checking at 5:06. 

My husband looked at it and determined that a 1/4 inch bolt with 28 turns per inch would fit into the slot and possibly turn it with the help of a socket wrench.  The carriage is not moving and I am working slowly.  Tonight is cleanser and Qtips.
