\"The Smith Premier No 2 typewriter has two full keyboards – one set for upper case and one set for lower case letters. This is an understroke typewriter whereby the slugs strike the platen from the underside making seeing what you type as you type very difficult. The Smith Premier No 2 first appeared in 1896. No 2s ran from around 1896 through 1914. It wasn’t until 1908 that Smith Premier introduced the No 10, the only full-keyboard frontstroke typewriter ever made.\" (Sources: Old Bob\'s Old Typewriters / The Typewriter Database)
