IBM Selectric teardown poster

Keyboard Builder’s Digest posts information on the classic IBM Selectric typewriter.

David V. Hughes made a poster for aa disassembled Selectric for IBM 6 years ago.

I took apart a classic IBM Selectric typewriter to create a poster for publication on IBM’s master brand social platforms. This was not only published digitally, but also available as a print – David V. Hughes.

You can find more pictures on the project page and tumblr. Here a link to the image with the highest resolution.

If you’d like to see a Selectric in action, see the video below and read all the details in the article here.
