at first i thought it was an old multi-penned version of a digital plotter i used to use in the 80s...

who remembers harvard graphics?



but then again, i'm not all that i'm quacked-up to be...

What's harvard? Is that some kind of sandwich? :roflmao:

Don't be silly Mickey, ducks can't speak! I suppose Donald can though

Excuse me, ah Mitch I believe Mickey is correct, ducks can speak they just don't have much to say. Seriously, get drunk and try to strick (or strike, you're choice) up a conversation with one, they talk and light your smoke and bring you fries. Just don't say the word "pressed" around them. :roflmao:
And I think that contraption has something to do with mapping stars, but then I talk to ducks.

Looks like some sort of draft-mans angeling tool ?

Jerry's closest so far. I can tell you that it's a typewriter, but it's a specific one. The question is: What for?

 

[Ciara]

For typing Braille ?

How does one "strick up a conversation"? Do tell!

 

[mickey megabyte]

you can't just 'strike up' a conversation with a duck, you would frighten it.

you have to strick them. i thought a cornwall country boy would know that...

maybe that's why you think ducks can't speak - you've been trying to strike them!

 

[Dwarf]

Sorry, Ciara, but it's not for typing Braille.

Thanks for watching my back Dwarf

I think it is a typewriter for blueprints!

 

[Dwarf]

No, although I suppose it would depend on what colour ribbon is installed.

 

[alfred01]

So, it's used to print signs?

 

[Dwarf]

No.

 

[mitchell65]

I think I have a problem, I can relate to most of that. The storyline was very good, very thought provoking!

 

[Dwarf]

Could it be because you're Quackers?

Anyhow, back to my strange typewriter. What is it used for?

 

[Ciara]

Typewriter for making stencils ?

 

[Dwarf]

Sorry, but not stencils.
