Wasselonne expo
Here are some images to give you an impression of what was brought together at the regional meeting of the Ancméca and the general assembly of ALCMB - there was, among others, a Sholes & Glidden typewriter, an Enigma machine that was demonstrated regularly, old Radio equipment, and of course many, many weird and wonderful typewriters and calculators.
An impression of the hall:
beautiful Thacher of which I'm quite jealous ...
Mystery object - any ideas what it's for ? The back contains an inscription from a student in his 3rd year - the four silk ribbons can be scrolled relative to each other and contain apparently random numbers of wildly varying size, but all of them ending in 0 or 5 in the second decimal place. No-one knows what it's for ...
Chinese typewriter ... don't drop the type rack!
A collection of typewriters, each of them with a functional replica of the system for bringing the character on paper - from the key to the type. Beautiful as well as very instructive!
Sholes and Glidden, of course ...
Cutaway model of a Schubert.
Nothing killed the radio star in this display ...
Washington calculator for reinforced concrete!
