In 190522 MMDigest Jerry Wagner offers an Auto-Typist desk, missing
its typewriter.  In that post were some tantalizing photographs that
led me to search for more information about the Auto-Typist machine.
What I found is a website called the Early Office Museum:

  https://www.officemuseum.com/typewriters_office_special.htm

I thought some of you might enjoy this website and the fascinating
mechanical machines used in offices of old.

Enjoy,
