Once declared by
Hemingway as the only psychiatrist he would ever submit to, the Corona
No. 3 was an instant success when it debuted in 1912. Based on the
Standard Folding Model of 1906, the No.3 was refined in this even
lighter and more compact machine made mostly from aluminum. The No. 3
has three banks of keys and a double carriage shift: one for capitals
and the other for figures. Another unique feature in the typewriters
design is the machine’s ability to “fold” in order to fit into the case
– that is, the carriage was hinged and could tuck forward over the
keyboard and become more compact for storage. This machine was so
practical that it was chosen by British Army in WWI.
