I would guess that DSG is what GP turned into later in it’s history, as this is an updated catalog, newer than the one I just posted. This comes from the collection of Bill Wahl at MTE. Note that I have now collected all of the Typewriter Typestyles posts into one category:
















Excellent! This will serve as a great fixed resource for future typewriter enthusiasts and historians.
Ah-hah! Just what I was looking for last night.
This is a great reference. I know if I ever get a Selectric I will be visiting this post often.
Thanks for sharing.
This reference works for all the Selectrics, 88 character machines (Selectric 1/2/Composer) and 96 characters (Selectric III). (:
Ted, I just obtained a GP Typing Element Handbook that is dated 11/82. At the bottom of the front cover it says “DSG is now GP Technologies, Inc.”
So DSG was the predecessor of GP.
Interesting. That must have just happened in oct/nov of ’82 then, because this catalog is also dated 1982 :D
Anyone know how these balls were manufactured? Might be an interesting process to review.
