This machine uses a revolving type drum, an early predecessor to the IBM Selectric ball of the 1970s.
In the center of this photo is a blurry image of the small felt inked wheel which transfered ink to the type drum just before impressing the letter image onto the paper.
Serial number: 54959
The type drum is easily removable allowing different drums to be quickly exchanged for different typefaces and characters for diffeent languages.
Beautiful wooden case
