Friden Flexowriter in action!

I thought some might like to see a short demo video of my Friden Flexowriter SFD before I make it public to the world.

Very nice. Brings back memories. When I started work around 1976/7 i went to an Insurance company. We had a room of Friden's with an extra auxilary punch. We used them for printing insurance policies. We used Fridens because they could print lower case. The machines used a template tape to print the policy. When it got to a variable bit, e.g. policholders name, address etc. the punch stopped and the operator typing in the missing bit from the application form. One punch punched the stuff for the mainframe. The other was used to print a policy wallet...
