1936 Smith Corona Standard Serial # 1C48082 1936 Smith Corona Standard typewriter, Serial # 1C48082 James Grooms's 1936 Smith Corona Standard typewriter. 2025-08-30 From the Virtual Typewriter Collection of James Grooms: 1936 Smith Corona Standard Serial # 1C48082 A tough one with locked-up segments and a freight train escapement. Fortunately, nobody had been banging on the keys, so only one link was off and minimal bent ones. The 1-4 series machines feature two rubber silencers vs the single one for the 5 on machines. This was my first experimental trial and it turned out pretty nice with butyl interts. The latex was so quiet, but it is so hard to work with, and things are tight, so it is difficult to get it all working correctly (See pic).

Typewriters are the perfect blend of using one's technical skills, history and functional purpose. My goal is type tested machines. My interests are not isolated to anyone area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.


RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Smith Corona Standard on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Smith Corona Serial Number page and the Smith Corona Standard By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
