Description
Wooden case with buffer runners on the front, back, and along the bottom - the hinged lid has a leather handle and is held closed with two small screws. Throughout the exterior are various shipping stickers, usually from CP Rail, “34” is stenciled on all sides, and a wooden name plate with Nicholas Morant’s information is nailed to the lid. Morant’s information is also stamped in red ink on the inside of the lid, along with a Linhof sticker.Inside the case is a Linhof Aero Technika camera - a camera used in aerial photography - as well as two bundles of Kodak gelatin filters in plastic bags, a viewfinder attachment housed in a black and yellow cardboard box, two plastic-frame Linhof filter attachments in individual fabric bags housed inside a cigar box, and two short hook links - one metal clasps attached by cord and one open hooks attached with a metal chain. The camera is housed inside a pale grey metal case that leaves the back exposed - the section of housing that extends over the lens can be removed, but has small openings throughout in order to access it - another opening along the top at the very front of the lens housing allows the plastic-framed filter to be slid in. On either side of the camera are large black plastic hand holds - the left side one has an extra leather strap that fits over the back of the hand. Fitted into the left-hand grip is a remote trigger.

Material
metal; wood; paint; rubber; plastic
Dimensions
7.0 x 12.0 x 21.5 cm
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.
