Smooth and ready to type for long hours.
Will recommend to a calm typist for perfect performance.
Platen has new rubber fitted on its platen as old one is worn and was totally damaged.
Its types in two spaces and doesn't have the option of one space, and no explanation for that as it was mechanically designed for two spaces or release of the platen.
