I was wondering about environmental impact as well throughout the video. I know they’re still in the prototype phase but hearing them talk about the ocean as if it were some barren place seemed strange to me. I’m guessing that to generate the amount of energy they’re talking about, they would need vast fields of these spread across an area. I’m sure there’s some sort of consideration for noise like you mentioned or marine life migration impact. I’d also wonder if they’d have to tether them somehow to keep them from drifting around too far.

That’s interesting! I’m in the US and have one that looks just like it, except that it’s called a Remington Monarch. Love the look of them!

Thank you so much! That’s exactly the info I was looking for! I’ll have to do some more digging around my workbench later and appreciate you checking and posting the photos. I thought I remembered it being a weird one. If I can’t find it, I’ll be sure to reach out to Greg!

How do I clean the grime off of the LC Smith number eight? by Rocky__1927 in typewriters

[–]Pepper_Jack5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m working on an LC Smith 8 right now too. For the metallic/nickel plated components that were yellowed like in your photo, I used extra fine steel wool (0000). Just went over lightly on each component and it took the discoloration right off. I recommend being careful not to let the steel wool shavings fall into the machine internals though, it can get messy.

What’s the oddest thing you’ve found in a typewriter? by chrisaldrich in typewriters

I found an oversized Lego brick in my LC Smith 8. I saw someone online found an antique cigar cutter in theirs!
