Although immersed in a world of touch-screen tablets and flat LCD monitors, manual typewriters are still utilized in offices and by today’s famous authors who claim the noise of clicking keys inspire creative imagination and vision. Classical masterpieces by novelists Ernest Hemingway,

Tennessee Williams and Jack Kerouac were all composed on typewriters as are the current compilations of David McCullough and Larry

McMurtry. And now today, in continuing with its long history of manufacturing quality typewriters for literary, office and home use,

Royal introduces the portable Epoch.

The Epoch features a sturdy design hard-shell carrying case with handle. The

Epoch can be utilized for printing on envelopes, labels, carboncopied forms and other tasks unsuitable for computer printers. Manual typewriters are a must in areas of sparse electricity and are in demand within developing countries around the world.

The Epoch provides the essential functions to compose a novel, type through forms, or for your typing pleasure.
