Mechanical fiche details:

01-Margin Selection:

Unlike the majority of typewriters where margin guides simply slide on a rail to limit paragraphs, this model features a more elaborate system. The margin stoppers are equipped with a sturdy spring mechanism in addition to their guiding rail. This device ensures precise, stable, and durable margin positioning, guaranteeing a neat and regular layout.

02-Casing:

Entirely metal, solid and durable construction. It shows a few light superficial scratches due to time, with no impact on its overall aesthetics. The whole remains harmonious and very well preserved.

03-Keyboard:

All keys are present, firmly mounted and perfectly legible. The typing is soft, precise and pleasant.

04-Carriage:

The rails have been cleaned. The carriage slides smoothly along its entire path, with no sticking or resistance. The return mechanism works perfectly.

05-Platen:

The platen operates normally. It has slightly lost some of its suppleness with time, which is common for its age, but it remains perfectly usable. It properly absorbs the impact and effectively holds the paper.

06-Line-spacing Lever:

Mechanism checked, cleaned and functional. Line-spacing changes are made with precision.

07-Tabulation:

Tabulation system operational, facilitating layout and text alignment.

08-Type hammers:

All type hammers are responsive. The carriage advances systematically after each keystroke, ensuring smooth and regular writing.

09-Backspace:

The backspace button has been tested and is fully functional.

10-Case:

Original case in good condition, rigid and protective. The locking system is functional, allowing secure transport.
