ROYAL 5 FRISTER & ROSSMANN TYPEWRITERS
In 1892 , Frister& Rossmann AG had branched into typewriters, when it gained the
rights to reproduce
the Caligraph 3 under
its own name. It also sold Lee Burridge's Sun and Ed Hess's Royal Standard through to the Model 10.
Royal has already tried to find a foothold in the business market with its semi-portable Royal Standard 1. This fails. A few years later Royal tries again with this
'flat-bed', the Royal Standard 5. This means fighting a losing battle - even with the marvelously beautiful leather portable case... Royal eventually yields to established values with the Royal 10. And that is a wise decision.
