The chairs have a gracefully curved and crested rail that is a separate piece which is glued to the slat back and the curved back frame. The slat backs with a lyre-shaped (five cut-out slats from one piece of wood) centre is joined to the frame and the curved rail. The chair seat is narrower at the back becoming wider as it gets to the end so the legs are spaced further apart at the front. The Marlborough-style tapered legs have an H-frame stretcher about three-quarters from the top of the drop-in seat. The leather covered seats have a wood frame (no centre) that fits into rabbets, horsehair filling, and an undercover in muslin cotton fabric. The four corner support joints underneath the seat are pieces of wood nailed onto the seat; also a piece of wood nailed and screwed onto both sides of seat bottom.

- Description
- The index typewriter consists of a circular, rotatable metal disk, which is mounted on a red metal component. The metal components of the typewriter which hold the paper in place and advance the cartridge forward are mounted on a rectangular wooden base, which is painted red. The cartridge is mounted along the back edge of the red wooden base. The various metal components of the typewriter are painted black, red, or green.The outer rim of the rotatable disk contains the “keys”, which are made of a soft rubber. When the key that is oriented at the top-center of the disk is pressed down, it produces that letter or character onto the paper. Also, when a button is pressed, a device pushes the cartridge forward one space, so that the next letter/character can be typed. Each button is labeled with a corresponding letter/character in black ink around the edge. The letters are all in capitals, and are not in alphabetical order. The letters appear on the disk in the following order: “C J P F U B L W T H E R O I A N D G S K Y M Q V X Z”. The characters labeled on the disk then proceed in following order: “, . - ? $ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 &”Underneath the rubber buttons, also following the curvature of the disk, reads: “GERMAN PATENT NO. XXXX” (X = the number is unreadable); “FRENCH PATENT NO. 269727”; “OTHER FOREIGN AND DOMESTIC PATENTS PENDING”; “UNITED STATES PATENT MARCH 21 1899(?)”; “BRITISH PATENT NO. 1XXX1” (X = the number is unreadable).The center of the disk is painted red, with a green circular boarder. The top of this area reads: “SPECIAL”. In the very center of this area reads: “Simplex TRADEMARK Typewriter” in white letters on a green banner. Underneath this banner is a red “1”, which is enclosed in a black circle. Beneath this, in black ink, it reads: “MANUFACTUERS AND PATENTS,” “SIMPLEX TYPEWRITER CO., COR.FIRST AVE.AND 37TH ST.,NEW YORK.U.S.A.”The metal disk can be lifted upwards, so that it becomes almost vertical, in order for paper to be loaded into the typewriter.On the cartridge along the back edge of the wooden base is a white measuring strip, labeled 0-64 (going up by 2’s) in black ink, with black vertical lines denoting measurements (1 cm = 4 units of measure on strip, therefore, the 64 units of measure on the strip correspond with 16cm).

- Description
- An Underwood No. 5 typewriter with a black body and a QWERTY keyboard containing 84 characters. The keyboard is a four-bank keyboard, with a single shift key. The characters on the keys are white on a black background. There is also a switch with a red and black key on the viewer-left side above the keyboard, which determines whether the characters will transcribe on the paper in red or black ink. The typewriter uses ribbon inking, and the red-black ribbon is still present and visible in the machine.The typebars pass through a U-shaped slotted segment, which is visible above the keyboard. In-between the keyboard and this U-shaped slotted segment, on the front face of the typewriter, it reads “UNDERWOOD” in gold lettering with a blue outline. The typewriter contains is a frontstroke mechanism; therefore the typebars hit the front of the platen when they are struck, making the text immediately visible to the typist. There is a piece of paper rolled onto the platten, and it contains many small circular dents and ink marks, including the text “tter” in black ink on the viewer-right side. The papertable contains the word: “Underwood” in gold lettering. Located directly to the viewer-left of this text is a gold and blue outlined Underwood crest with a red background that is formed from the overlapping letters “U” and “T”. The centre of the crest contains an image of an Underwood typewriter, underneath of which the words “TRADE” “MARK.” appear in a small, black font. Beneath the crest it reads “MADE IN U.S.A.” in gold text.On the viewer-right face of the typewriter, “1949352-5” is etched into a small rectangular plaque on the body of the machine.
