As I said in yesterday’s post, I kind of got the antique typewriter bug last week.  While I was researching the various types of machines, I discovered that the gold standard in the early part of the century was from a company called Underwood.  Well, I came across an early portable from Underwood and noticed a familiar design on the ribbon covers:

See how they look like Tridents?

I thought, “Where I have I seen these before?”

And then it hit me:

What on earth could be the connection?

I believe there is a conspiracy underwood foot.

In fact, I’m certain of it.  I want to hear your version of this conspiracy.

Just for fun, send me a short-short story (1000 – 1500 words) of just what the heck is going on here.  I’ll collate and publish them over at Smashwords.

Come on, you know you want to.  Send something before July 20th, ok?
