Olivetti Lettera 32 - Keyboard

Keyboard

The keyboard uses the QWERTY layout. Apart from the typing keys, the keyboard includes a Space bar, two Shift keys, a caps lock, a backspace key, margin release key, paragraph indentation key and a tab-stop set/unset key.

The character set conspicuously lacks the number 1, which is supposed to be substituted by the lowercase l. Although this may seem like a strange absence today, this was common on older typewriters. There is also no exclamation mark character on the keyboard; instead this is typed by a period, then a backspace, and then an apostrophe.
