All electronic typewriters are, by necessity, electric, but not all electric typewriters are electronic. Very few in fact …
Advertising to mark the Australian release of these typewriters appeared in June 1982:
“Introducing the revolutionary new low price, high performance electronic.
Weighing in at a mere 8.7kgs, the Brother 9300 gives you the convenience
of an office electronic even in your home:
- Automatic memory correction of the last line typed.
- Clean, crisp typing with an exquisite light touch.
- Automatic functions include right margin alignment;
decimal tab; automatic centring and underlining. - Plus all the numerous features found on conventional electrics.
The lower-spec Brother 8300 was released at the same time. The ad below is dated May 1982 (USA):
