>>Brother is a typewriter and sewing machine company
Do you think they still have any mechanical engineers working on typewriters? Which industry still has a need/requirement for typewriters?
- bingerman 6y agoTake this with a grain of salt but I've heard that some kind of typewriters are still used in some countries for the top secret material.
- withinboredom 6y agoOr when you want typewritten information but don't want to give that person access to a computer (such as a hacker).
- hyperdimension 6y agoI wonder: do they burn or otherwise destroy the ribbon after the fact? Also I have to confess, I've definitely bought used (tape-based) answering machines/typewriters at yard sales a few times solely to listen to the greeting/messages or typed messages, respectively. Having the device itself is nice, too, of course. :) It's an interesting slice of the lives of people I'll never know, like picking up discarded shopping lists.
- jbay808 6y agoI don't know if they still sell typewriters, but the GP is talking about their heritage, not their current focus. Right now they make a lean, mean, CNC milling machine! https://youtu.be/S3jqS5_awO8 https://youtu.be/S3jqS5_awO8
- protomyth 6y agoYou need a typewriter for those triplicate forms which some folks still require. Another amazing reason we still have a dot matrix printer and a daisy wheel on a shelf.
