I was just seeing if there were any clues to fixing notagain's carriage problem on his Travel-Riter (there weren't) when I noticed that the ribbon spools on my Remington 5 shift.

Anyway, perfect excuse for a 2 frame animation.

The Union Flag flanked by maple leaves on the paper table are because this was made by Remington in Canada in 1939.
