Christina saw her grandfather’s “machine” as more than the whir of its wheels, slide of its rollers, and click of its plates. The magic it made from the pump of his foot and rhythm of his hand feeding and retrieving resulted in a permanency of expression that, even when formed in the wrong font or smeared, fed her growing desire to write.
