You see photos of standard typewriters, but you’re never ready for what shows up. To provide some scale, here are my 12.8 pound 1949 Royal Quiet De Luxe portable and my 29.8 pound 1955 Royal HH standard next to each other. The Royal HH is a substantial typewriter. (I think I’m in love. 😍)

A straight on view of a small gray Royal QDL typewriter next to a brown Royal HH which is almost 2 1/2 times the size of  the first. Both sit on top of a wooden library card catalog.

View from the left of a small looking Royal QDL in the foreground with a larger Royal HH sitting behind it.

Angle from the right of a hulking Royal HH looming over a much smaller and delicate looking Royal QDL in the background.
