Typewriters of the rich and famous: John Lennon on an anonymous SCM
John Lennon used many different typewriters for many different purposes. This photo gets passed around because Lennon had photos of the Beatles in the lid to the case.
John Lennon hunting and pecking away at a typewriter, a portable SCM, with a photo of the Beatles in the lid. Year and location unknown to me.
I found the photo on Reddit. Consensus is it’s an SCM Galaxie model typewriter, a manual. More details? If you got them, let me know.

We've been soaking in the Bathtub for several months, long enough that some of the links we've used have gone to the Great Internet in the Sky.
If you find a dead link, please leave a comment to that post, and tell us what link has expired.

My blog, Millard Fillmore's Bathtub, is a continuing experiment to test how to use blogs to improve and speed up learning processes for students, perhaps by making some of the courses actually interesting. It is a blog for teachers, to see if we can use blogs. It is for people interested in social studies and social studies education, to see if we can learn to get it right. It's a blog for science fans, to promote good science and good science policy. It's a blog for people interested in good government and how to achieve it.
