This documentary brought back nostalgic memories. My father (in India) owned an Olympia typewriter (1950-60s) and typed all his business correspondence with one finger. Later, I began assisting him in his business and typed his correspondence while he dictated to me. I moved to NA. After my father passed away, my brother took over the business and got rid of it. I would've loved to hang on to my late father's typewriter as i felt very attached to it as my father's fingers ran over it 😥😪
