Electronic typewriter, 1980, Olivetti. The ET 121 is the compact model of the ET line of electronic typewriters that Olivetti introduced in 1978 with the ET 101 and ET 201. Designed by Mario Bellini with Filippo Demonte and Gianluigi Ponzano, it prints with an interchangeable daisy wheel, has a correction memory that lifts off errors automatically and offers automatic centring, underlining and margin setting from the keyboard. Machines of this family were later fitted with interfaces and displays that turned them into printers and simple word processors.
