Mickey,
There are or were two versions of the typewriter lens. There was the one
for the Smith-Corona electric typewriter which attached to the carridge.
The other was for the IBM Selectric typewriter. In that version, there was
a little rod which hung down and you would adjust the lens alignment so that
the rod was right above the little pointer which moved as the IBM Selectric
Typeball moved down the line, as there wasn't a moving carridge per se in
the Selectric versions.
If you have one of these typewriters, then let the list know which kind you
have, as you can't use a Smith-Corona lens on a Selectric and vice versa.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway
Steve
Lansing, Mi
