Is it anything like a "turntable"? Or the "dial" that TV announcers used to tell you not to touch?

Oh, God, I'm old.

A typewriter is an old fashioned machine that Lt(jg) Kerry took to Vietnem instead of 10 pounds of underwear so that he could write his fictional diary and awards.

A typewriter was a printer that couldn't do graphics with a keyboard attached and no memory. They were mechanical sort of like a piano until they went electric.

My dad had a few different ones and I used to play with them when I was young in the 70's. Great fun for an 8 year old.
