IBM
From Typewriter Wiki
Most well known for the creation of the Selectric series of typewriters IBM made machines before and after for using in businesses and government organizations.
| Name | Date Range | Description and Rarity | - |
|---|---|---|---|
| Selectric (I) | 1961 - | The first "Golfball" typewriter to set the standard for swappable fonts | |
| Selectric II | 1971 - | Much larger, but far more prolific than it's predecessor. | |
| Selectric III | 1980 - | More cost conscious and generally worse than it's predecessor. This short-lived iteration was not loved by those who used or supported these machines. | |
| Electronic Typewriter | 1980 - | Made to compete with the smarter offerings from IBM's competitors. This machine did not last long as it was based around the Selectric III and quickly replaced by the Wheelwriter. | |
| Wheelwriter | 1984 - | No more golf ball instead a type-wheel and some actual signs of intelligence. |
