The spools fit great but one important hiccup occurred with the royalite these ribbons do not have grommetseyelets which prevents the automatic ribbon reverse from happening

Its unfortunate because the holes in the spool were perfect for the spool holders and the other companys were a bit wobbly due to their universal nature

If your typewriter uses an automatic reverse i would probably pass

I believe it has more to do with strike impact and not the ribbon

I would suggest watching some youtube videos with installation as the one i watched was close but spool direction was opposite
