this was a common brand of a office printers at the time; These small sized machines could be placed on a small table and were operated by hand with a small crank.

They required a special oily ink and printed using a sheet of special paper, the stencil, placed on a printing cylinder once the text was typed on the typewriter, the ribbon was removed, allowing perforate the sheet of paper. Ink was forced through the stencil by an ink roller. This device was widely used by resistance fighters because it was easy to conceal and carry, and could quickly print a few thousand copies.
