Volume 1 / Part 7 — Renewing Typewriter Ribbons

Roll the ribbon on a spool and meanwhile apply a little glycerine with a fountain-pen filler. Roll up tightly and lay aside for a week or ten days. Do not apply too much glycerine as this will make the ribbon sticky—a very little, well spread, is enough. The same application will also work well on ink pads.
