I had one of these typewriters. It was actually put together from parts of two broken ones. My father found them along the side of the road and brought them home. In the matter of a single day, he had one working model. We used it for years before we finally had a computer in the home that could do word processing. I even wrote my highschool reports and college term papers on the thing.

I AM old!

Though the last one may be a fake. Memory function makes more sense indeed. I don't think such an old Wheelwriter would sport anything that could even run a Linux kernel.
