GT ribbon

New ribbons for a couple of the typewriters have arrived so yesterday i fitted one to my Smith-Corona GT. Now this was quite different to the other ribbon changes i have done as the new ribbon needs to be spooled onto the GT's own drums. To be honest it was a very messy job which left my fingers black! However, the resulting type is very clean and crisp. I'm just glad its probably not a job i'll have to do again for a very long time!
