I've read that Betty Smith typed the entirety of A TREE GROWS IN BROOKLYN on an Oliver.

If you press the right tab key down, the carraige will slide off. From there, you will see a rod with a jagged edge. It is supposed to meet with the jagged edge on the bottom of the carraige but it may be off. Check to be sure it is in place. That should fix the backspace.
