One of the books I recently edited, for Bookshare, had to define a
Typewriter in the glossary, sigh.
It was published in 2005.

Changing the ribbons was always a fun, neat experience. No such
thing as a cartridge, just a nice clean ink soaked tape. I had 2 old
Underwoods that also just about took a hammer to get the letters dark
enough when the ribbon started getting old. I guess that part didn't
really matter though, as they were so heavy you ended up looking like
the Incredible Hulk if you had to tote them around much. I do
however sort of wish I still had 1 as a conversation piece if nothing
else. They would probably be like old 78 records and a turntable for
kids to be amazed at.
