The elegant Peoples typewriter is operated with the right hand guiding the index pointer, while the left hand controls the print, shift, and space keys.
A distinctive feature of this typewriter is its hinged carriage, which rocks forward to make contact with the type-wheel beneath the nickel-plated disk. This unique mechanism sets it apart as the only typewriter designed in this way.
An inked ribbon ‘curtain’, now missing, once descended from the edge of the disk, brushing against the type-wheel as it turned.
The last two advertisements shown below, feature the Champion typewriter, a later version of the Peoples, distinguished by the addition of ribbon spools.
