15. A Royal manual in the beginning. (1965)

Those old black ones with no letters on the keys and you had to really punch hard to make the letters print properly.
I always suspected the type was weighted

Later on, I inherited my Grandfather's manual Underwood. It did have letters and was much prettier than the old Royals.

I had to type up letters with 2 or 3 carbon copies, prep stuff for the mimeograph, and all sorts of strange things in my typing classes.
I hate carbon paper and I am so glad we do not have to use any of that old stuff ever again
