My grand-father was working at Paillard Hermes from 1923 to 1963, designing tools and manufacturing process. A few years ago, I re-discovered a typewriter from my family, and started to use it to write when I need to be disconnected from distrations. Then I started to collect a few typewriters to find the best possible one for my use.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Hermes 3 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Hermes Serial Number page and the Hermes 3 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
