Description:
A nice example of a great typewriter. The R.C. Allen 700 and the FP are dueling today.
The Allen wins. A more accurate comparison would be vs an HH. The FP is definitely an example of cost reduction underway, thus it is very noisy..

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 Royal FP on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal FP By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
