The company was originally founded in Italy, in 1908. They purchased the Underwood Typewriter Company in 1959. In October 1963, Olivetti totally merged Underwood into a newly formed Olivetti-Underwood Corporation. This resulted in the reversal of the double names on US machines.
Olivette says the Studio 44 has " the performance of a standard typewriter is required in the space of a portable. The Studio 44 bridges the gap when a standard machine would be uneconomical and a personal portable unsuitable.”
Nothing about this typewriter feels flimsy. When you strike a key, there’s a measured pace to the typebar. According to Olivetti, “the typebar movement is based on the principle of progressive acceleration.” The Studio 44 feels like an extension of your fingers. The mechanicals move smoothly and accurately.
Typed characters come out bright, true and aligned. Olivetti claims the perfect alignment is because the carriage movement is comprised of a steel tube that glides over roller bearings
A worldwide favorite of students, writers and teachers. the Studio 44 combines functionality with style. It has value and features with the feel of a full-size machine.
