Hermes 3000/Hermes Media Manual Scan
Ephemera-heads gotta stick together! The manual for the Skyriter that I have posted still gets pretty frequent hits, so here's a greyscale scan of the manual that came with my wide-carriage, French made Hermes 3000. Based on the cover of the booklet, this also applies to the Hermes Media model.

What an odd machine. Did you replace those miss-matched keys? They look like they have come from two differen't typewriters.
Nope -- that spacebar discoloration is how it came to me. It's a whole different color than the rest of the keys which are kind of a dove gray color.
I've added links to your manuals on the Smith-Corona and Hermes pages on typewriterdatabase.com (:
