Description:
This is one of the more unusual Royal machines. How is it different from a De Luxe? I can't come up with one ad for it. I went through all the OA issues for 38, and while Royal is pushing portables to the dealers every month, they never mention the Quite. There is a Xmas brochure mentioned and the "four famous models are the Deluxe, Speed King, Standard, and the Varsity."
So I guess this was the Standard machine, but good luck finding an ad with that keyword.

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 any one area. For example, I am a big fan of Smith Corona electrics, mid century electrics and all things Royal.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
