IBM Wheelwriter typewriters were primarily manufactured in the United States, specifically in the company's facilities in the state of New York. Production began in the early 1980s and continued until the typewriters were eventually phased out in the late 1990s. Some models may have also been produced in other locations, but the majority were made in the U.S.
The IBM Selectric typewriter was first introduced in July 1961. It was one of the most successful typewriters of that generation. The line was replaced in 1984 with the IBM Wheelwriter.
To change the pica (font size) on an IBM Wheelwriter 2, you need to access the typeface settings. First, turn on the typewriter and press the "Typeface" key until you cycle through the available options to select the desired pica (usually 10 or 12 pitch). Once the desired typeface is displayed, simply start typing, and the new setting will take effect. Remember to check the user manual for specific instructions related to your model if needed.

Pull back on the hammer, lift out the print wheel cartridge, drop in new cartridge and release hammer.
IBM stopped producing typewriters in 1991, as the shift towards personal computers and digital technologies made typewriters obsolete. The company had been a significant player in the typewriter market for decades, but by the early 1990s, demand had declined sharply in favor of word processors and computer-based writing solutions. This transition reflected broader changes in office equipment and communication practices during that era.

Error code 215 means there is a problem with the printwheel itself. Make sure it's not jammed or damaged. If this isn't the problem then it's probably the sensor that's failed.
To change the line spacing on an IBM Wheelwriter 70 Series II, locate the line spacing lever or switch, typically found on the right side of the typewriter. You can adjust it to set the spacing to either single, 1.5, or double spacing. Make sure to turn the machine on before making adjustments, and test by typing a few lines to confirm the desired spacing is achieved. If necessary, refer to the user manual for specific instructions related to your model.
IBM is credited with coining the term word processing in the 1960's. In the late 1960's, IBM created Astrotype and Astrocomp which were used on DEC mini computers and on the IBM Selectric typewriters. IBM later released FORMAT which was designed to run on any computer running Fortran IV.
