Here is a like-new condition typewriter, made by the Brother Corporation, which made this line in Japan. I believe this one is from the 1980s, but then I have also read that the first few numbers of the serial number (see photo number 6) is supposed to be the year of manufacture, which if true, would make this machine to be from 1991. As I have already mentioned, and as you can see from the pictures, this machine is in like-new condition, apparently having not been used very much, or else used very carefully. The case is a blow mould type case, and as shown in photo number 8, there is a carriage lock to keep the return carriage locked in place during transport and storage, so shipping this typewriter should not be an issue. Since the Arabic language is written and meant to be read from right to left, this very special typewriter works in that same manner, which seems backwards to most of us English speakers. When you unlock the carriage lock after taking it out of the case, if you attempt to push the carriage to the start position, it will only move to the left to line you up with the right side of the paper. As you type or hit the space bar, the machine advances to the right, then you return it to the left and start again on the right side. This machine also features a "repeat" spacer key, shown in the first two pictures as the larger, red key next to the normal spacer bar on the bottom of the keyboard. Like all manual typewriters, you have adjustments for margins, tabs, position of ribbon, and the pressure of the keys, and the number of spaces between lines of type. This unusual keyboard also includes a direction key for both directions; striking either key once results in the platen moving one space in the direction of the arrow of the key. The platen, the roller that the paper rolls around and is the surface you would strike with the keys if there were no paper in the typewriter, is 12 inches wide, which allows you to work on larger than the normal 8 1/2" x 11" paper, and you could also use this for ledger pages or even scrapbook papers if you were so inclined. Because this is a script typeface, the letters appear to be linked together when typed out, to give your words a more natural, connected look.
