Old School Change the Font
I ran across and old typeball for an IBM Selectric Typewriter a couple of weeks ago. These typewriters were manufactured from 1961 through 1984. They used a printhead element called a typeball to print with. They were nick named golf balls. These golf ball heads were used to set the font for whatever you were typing. They came in at least a dozen different fonts including Hebrew. If you wanted to change fonts you had to put on a different typeball. A big pain if you needed to change fonts in the middle of a sentence. Later models of the Selectric had some memory storage and were the forerunners of modern word processing using computers. God's light and love to all, chris

When I first saw this I thought, is that a possible symbol for our information age planet? True knowledge seeks expression, and your reflection is commendably expressed. Thanks, Chris.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for the insight, brucejamieson42. I hadn't thought about it thatway. I could work this image into being a really nice stock image.
