History
As a result of the 1920 Remington Portable No. 1 -- the first portable typewriter with 4 rows of keys-- making the existing Underwood 3-Bank Standard Portable somewhat obsolete, Underwood decided to develop a portable typewriter with 4 rows of keys. [1] Underwood designer Kurowski was told to develop a portable typewriter similar to the 3-Bank portable design. The Underwood Portable began production in 1926 and was highly successful, with over 1.25 million produced. [1]
