Rule Britannia! Smith Corona Empire Typewriter

One of the most popular, and most produced, machines in history, the Hermes Baby was manufactured all across the globe -- from the mountains of Switzerland to the foggy British Isles to the tropical forests of Brazil. Our story focuses on British Typewriters Limited, which secured a contract to produce Hermes Baby clones in Britain in 1936. They produced this clone for 25 years, interrupted only by World War 2. See a comparison between the original Hermes Baby, the short lived Smith Corona Empire, and the Olivetti Lettera 82 (Hermes Baby Clone manufactured in Brazil).
