This is a user manual for an Olivetti - Underwood 21 typewriter. If you bought an Underwood 21 from the 60s it would come with this manual.



The 21 is a masterstroke of Italian engineering, but after all these years most of these typewriters don't have the user manual that came with the machine. This leaves many collectors on their own when it comes to figuring out how to set margins, set or clear tabs, adjust key tension, change print color, manually reverse the ribbon drive, etc. This manual explains all that in clear, concise language and detailed illustrations. This manual is written in five languages. I can say for a fact one of them is English, but I'm more or less guessing that the other four are Italian, French, Spanish and German. Every translation is in this one manual.



This user manual is a reproduction. Just like an original, it folds out like a map to a 19 inch long format. It's printed on heavy, high quality, gloss paper. The print and illustrations are sharp, in color and faithfully reproduced.



If you are looking to sell an Underwood 21, you may find having this document increases the machines value by providing the customer confidence that they'll be able to use the machine to its fullest capacity.
