 Take a look at the typewriters available on the second-hand market and you'll quickly see the range of sizes available. Take the Hermes Baby and Olympia SG3. The Baby is a tiny Swiss typewriter that weighs just over 1.8kg (4 lbs) and measures 6.8cm x 28.5cm x 28cm (2.68" x 11.2" x 11"). The SG3 is a German-made monster that weighs about 16.2kg (35.7 lbs) and measures 23cm x 53cm x 45cm (9" x 20.9" x 17.7" ) in its smallest configuration. Dig a little deeper into typewriter blogs and forums and you'll soon come across three terms people regularly use to describe a machine's size: ultraportable, portable, or standard. So what differentiates one class from another?
