Gregory's ServerYears ago I bought a collection of IBM Selectric Typewriter ‘golf balls’ (including some rarer ones) from a typewriter repair shop. Once upon a time this was how fonts were stored for the machine. The owner literally used his arm to shovel them into a cardboard box like he couldn’t get rid of them fast enough, in a shop full of hundreds of them. A good memory. #design #typography #typewriter #fonts

@rileycran My granddad,a retired professor of English literature, had a Selectrix at his writing desk for decades and it was my childhood treat to sit down and type a bit, watching that magic ball jump around. Lovely to see this again.
@rileycran Wonder if it was the model for Luke’s training orb droid in Star Wars ep. 4.
