During this work I also understood that the wiki page on Daisy Wheel printing was wrong since they attributed the invention of the Daisy Wheel printing technology to the Qume founder, David Lee. From reading the interview with George Comstock it is evident that the true inventor is Hungarian born Dr Andrew Gabor. A week ago I finally updated the wiki page to reflect this. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daisy_wheel_printing If someone else has more information and details it could be worthwhile to update the page yet more. Here is btw my HyType II printing som ASCII art. https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=C5bodpSsFl8 Nice printer. The servo system designed by Andrew Gabor works very well. The speed of the carriage when it moves back to the home position makes you keep fingers on your back not touching anything... > > --Chuck > >
