Royal HH & FP typewriter shipping help by [[Typewriter Justice]]
Advice for how to package a heavy standard typewriter for shipping. Two heavy rubberbands to hold the margin release buttons to protect the escapement. Then plastic wrap to keep the carriage from moving during shipment. Then protection for the knobs and carriage return levers put into a first box.

How to package an antique/vintage typewriter for shipping <br /> by [[Tampa Typewriter Co.]]
