When an iteration was first shown to Pirojsha Godrej in 1954, he asked the engineers: “Is it as good as Remington?” Initially imported but later manufactured in Calcutta, and so popular there was a six-month waiting period, Remington’s typewriters were stiff competition. For Godrej, which mainly manufactured products involving fabrication, an intricate machine like a typewriter, with hundreds of parts and complex functions, was a challenge. A year later, the engineers finally pulled it off. Their typewriter found wide acceptance in India. Seen in the news clipping here is then prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru, trying it out in January 1955.

Hanwant Singh was issued a single-visit visa for Lahore and Peshawar district, with a validity of six months from the date of issue and a duration of stay not exceeding three months. He left Attari on 20 October 1955 and returned to India via Wagah on 27 October 1955.
