In Celebration of: Giant Typewriters

Posted on | February 3, 2010 | No Comments

I’m not sure whether this was a marketing move or an engineering challenge, but really…what’s not to like about a giant typewriter?

Giant typewriters also played a regular role as props in comic books.

In their performance of “Too Marvelous for Words,” Ruby Keeler and Lee Dixon tapped all over giant typewriter keys while the chorus line played the role of the typebars. Their typewriter didn’t really work, but we’ll let it slide because after all…they’re dancing on a typewriter.
