Royal Futura 600
A late 1950s Royal portable with more weight and features than the Quiet De Luxe: full tabulator, segment shift, more rigid construction. Often considered the better-typing Royal portable of its era, though less famous than the QDL. The Futura 600 and its variants are worth seeking out for typists who want a substantial portable.
