Description
Some of you may remember typewriters...
And some of those had these beautiful and amazing (at least at the time) ball shaped heads which bang against the paper to type letters.
Good old technology!!!

too young to really remember them but its a nice shot with good reflections, composition and colours
yup, I remember them, nice macro
We still have one with about 4 balls for different fonts. It has been so long since we have used it that I am not sure it still works. At IBM I was trained to work on them as they were used for the console printer. That was before they used terminals for consoles.
Fragile. Don't forget how %$#@ fragile they were! ;-)
