It's completely keyboard controlled

You'll type faster because there's no lag in the action of the new Underwood Master-better be- cause of greater uniformity of impression and the perfect alignment of characters on the page-with greater ease because the Master is actually tuned" to your finger tips and completely keyboard controlled. Typists who by actual vote acclaimed Underwood first for case of touch find an additional reason for enthusiasm in the new Master. It offers Dual "Touch Tuning"-two distinct touch adjustment features-one of them controlled from the keyboard at a mere flick of the typist's finger.
