Typewriters are Oscar-winning actor Tom Hanks' not-so-guilty pleasure. He has a personal collection of more than a hundred, in nearly every style, make and year. They intrigue him so much, Hanks even made typewriters the supporting characters in his very first book, a collection of short stories fittingly titled "Uncommon Type." He talked with Lee Cowan about his affection for typewriters, and how he found his writer's voice.

The fact that it took him years (which is also due to the typewriter, its one inconvenience being that it's slower than computers) is actually reassuring.

When I was in junior high, I was diagnosed with asthma and told I could no longer take wood shop because of all the sawdust. I was terrible at wood shop but loved it anyway. I was crushed. The only class open at the time was typing. "When am I ever going use typing?" I moaned. Then computers happened. I went on to even spend 20-plus years writing for a living. I don't know how I would have survived just hunting and pecking. I still have my grandma's 1940s era office typewriter that is built like a tank and weighs 40 pounds, plus the one my parents bought me when I was seven or eight and the one I took to college in 1984.

I just got a 1948 Royal Quiet Deluxe typewriter with the glass keys and original carrying case in pristine condition that works like new for just $20 at Goodwill. I learned how to type on a manual in the 50's. Garrison Keillor wrote a charming coming of age book, "Lake Wobegon Summer 1956," about a 14 year old boy who changes his life when he is given an Underwood manual typewriter. Some pages have typewritten stories in old typewriter font typed by the boy. There is something enthralling about those old machines; especially if you love words like many of us do.

I had an electric typewriter in high school in the late 90s. I lived with my grandparents and asked for a computer for my birthday. They couldn't afford one so they bought an electric typewriter. Even though it wasn't a computer, I loved it. I used it a lot. It even had a LCD screen, so that I could see what I was typing before I actually put it on paper. I think it is the coolest thing I ever got as a birthday present. I can't wait to read your book Tom.

Mine's a Remington noiseless portable, c.1936. It's neither noiseless nor portable, but I love it. It only ever had two careful owners before me - I bought it from the grandson of a lady who had recently passed on; she had used it to write her masters thesis. She bought it second hand from a gentleman in the 1950s, who had bought it new twenty years prior. Apparently the 'noiseless' and 'portable' aspects of it were supposed to appeal to students working in libraries. I regret to say, as an amateur typewriter owner, that I had to send it to be serviced for the first time since it left the factory - in 2011! Since then it's been running like a dream.

I did. He came back 2 yrs later abd we contibued our friendship and had a lot of adventures. I still have that old Royal and I still type on it 56 yrs later about all our crazy adventures.

@gedisdiop 6 лет назад

My first experience on a typewriter was a , and I'm probably wrong on the model, a Royal Collegiate. Made is the 50's. It made a very satisfying sound when typing, a melodious bell, and some really cool "rabbit ears" to hold the paper up. It went through college; first with my Father, then, with his Sister, both attending Indiana State University in Terre Haute, Indiana. It had a wonderful key action, literally with every key just bouncing off of your fingers. When IBM came out with the "Selectric", it was a challenge to master. The keys were VERY sensitive, but it was handy to change the font just by lifting a small tab on top of the ball, and making a swap.

And yes, he's right -- it's about as pleasurable a typing experience as you could ever hope to have and it will probably wind up with my great grandkids.

Wow! Thank you for posting this article, CBS Sunday Morning. I started my repair career as a typewriter repairman back in the early '70's on a Royal KM model (as I recall). That was fun seeing all of those old typewriters - sure brought back a sea of memories for me. I eventually moved on up the chain into computer repair as well as other types of office equipment repair. Still you cannot beat a good old electric or manual typewriter for doing simple tasks such as typing an envelope or a label or two. Thanks again. --- an Indiana boy ;)

@clayrundquist5098 6 лет назад

Ray Jones My Dad owned a typerwriter shop, at one time had 3 servicemen. We sold Royal, then Adler. Nothing typed better than a well tuned Royal KMG. I used to know all the Royal models, long forgotten now.

@rayjones3212 6 лет назад

Did your dad sell the Adler SE-1000 ball typewriters? And if so did he (or you) remember the major issues that came with the "horrid" correction tape (dry lift off) that plagued that typewriter for so many years? Ahhh yes, power rolls, platens, oil shortages back when the rubber was very sub-par. And Ames Supply Co., out of Chicago, IL. Them was the days.

@clayrundquist5098 6 лет назад

Ray Jones: Unfortunately, my parents are gone, my uncle that was repairman for my Dad is gone and none of us kids remember all issues associated with the Adler typewriter. I do remember the lift off tape feature and that it didn't work well, but it was cool. Ames Supply in Chicago is a name I know. A lot of the ribbons we sold where from there. Dad always blamed the IBM Selectric for the demise of the typewriter business. I kind of miss those days.

@rayjones3212 6 лет назад

The only thing that I really feel that killed off the typewriter business was the home computer(s) and electronic typing systems. But that was a long time ago and it is still fun to remember the good old manual typewriter such as Tom Hanks spoke of in the article. Cheers from Indiana.

@StarFire4337 Год назад

My mom taught me how to properly type when I was 7 years old and could read. She had a clunky old Royal that weighed a ton and if you typed real fast sometimes your fingertip wound up between the keys so you had to pause for a second to free it. I used that for years until I was in my late 20's and she got me a used electric typewriter, the kind with the ball inside. But we still kept the old clunker and I had it up until I moved into a much smaller house about 12 years ago. I still regret not keeping it. It was a big part of our lives for many years to type up everything form bills to notes and forms.

Its the same thing of having a mechanical keyboard. I mean, for today's world. I really like the sound of a typewriter, and the thing that comes close is a blue-switch, clicky mechanical keyboard.

Which the mechanical engineering involved in it still staggers me, when todays world almost everything has electronics in it.
