That's  terrific feature.  Especially good since daisy wheels  were often 
used with carbon ribbons, which were good for one pass only -- no  rewind or 
reverse.  My wife used mostly carbon ribbons.
 
Yeah, those carriage returns were something else.  Hers was on top a  small 
dresser -- I think the glue joints were still intact when we gave the  dresser 
away :-)
