THIS DAY IN HISTORY, February 4, 1957: 🔌 Smith Corona begins selling portable electric typewriters. The first portable machine, the model 5TE, weighed considerably more than a laptop — 19 pounds.

Spent $5 on this at a garage sale today. Going to get it cleaned up and serviced next week...fingers crossed it works! #SmithCorona #CoronetSuper12 #ElectricTypewriter #HapticLove
