Creating the typewriter

For the animation we need a form of communication that tells FDR about the attack on Pearl Harbor. It needs to be a visual representation so the audience can see what is going on. This means that a piece of paper should be recieved with the details on.

In the 1940s people people still commonly used telegrams. This was usually in the form of morse code. But wealthier people could hook up a typewriter or other device and recieve a physical message on paper.

This is what I am going to create as it was the most likely way of communication for messages such as these without face to face talking.

I am going to model this typewriter that is from the 1940s. It is a Royal typewriter made in New York. In the 1940s it would have been top of the range and therefore perfect for a president.
