Introduction
If the letters typed by your Remington Quiet Riter typewriter are lighter on the top or bottom, or if your capital letters do not align with your lowercase letters, this guide will help you try a simple "on feet" adjustment to align your type.
Keep in mind that this process will involve some trial and error. Be careful to hold the adjustment screw in place when tightening or loosening the nut. Also, it helps to keep track of how much you adjust the screw each time so you can more easily find the correct alignment.

If all of the letters are a uniform darkness, but the bottom of the capital H does not align with the bottom of the lowercase h, you will need to experiment with adjustments to find the correct alignment.
