1959 Remington Quiet-Riter Eleven typewriter at work

This was after Remington dropped the crinkle-finish paint, and in the last year before a major redesign of this model's bodywork. The "Eleven" refers to the carriage width. This is a beautiful late-decade example of the Quiet-Riter, Remington's premium portable machine.

Is it bigger than the usual quiet riter (1957) or same size?

[@NisKildegaard]

Body shell is the same. Carriage is a bit wider.

That's a very nice looking machine. Does it do half-line spacing?

[@NisKildegaard]

I wish -- but no. This is elite type. Again, apologies for the absence of a macro shot -- my Sony RX100 has been repaired and is in the mails on its way back to me....

@@NisKildegaard Thank you. The rounded lines of those machines are perfect. I prefer them to the later angular design. I also favor elite type but it seems significantly less common than pica.

@@nandi123 As far as I can figure out from the database, this machine is from the last year before the later, hard-edged design was introduced.
