Hi ED
I only know Friden as the makers of the Flexowriter. It was something like a

you re ink the old ribbon... used to do that with tty ribbons the

I remember having to make a dried ribbon a bit juicer one time strung

I was at DEC when much of this took place .
The big concern was not so much the copying but the USSR just buying DEC

They would set up a front company, sign up as an oem, pay their bills on
