Series 9: Vari-Typer type element for Stokoe notation
Series — Box: MSS189.10
Scope and Contents
This item is a print head intended for use in a Vari-Typer, a typing and text layout machine in wide use until the manufacturer stopped making it in the 1970s. The print head bears the symbols used in Dr. Stokoe’s notation system, so it was presumably made specially for him. The case also contains a slip of paper with overlays for the Vari-Typer keys showing the various symbols.
