Remarks to the Restoration Procedure: ************************************************************************** o Aligned the bent left CRANK ... o Cleaned & oiled; broken spring replaced; screws added/replaced ... o Both HANDLES of the cranks right and left of the carrier were broken (see the original parts on the black back sheet) - New made out of black plastic distance cylinders, enforced with glued-on washers ... o All DECIMAL MARKERS were missing - New made out of bronze strips ... o All RUBBER FEET were detoriated - New made ... o The "Transport Lock" = A lever to fix the carriage with a SCREW - Made with a HAT-NUT (right on front): Now no tool necessary ... o The BELL was lost - New made from a metalic medicine container ... The bell in the calculator indicates an "Overflow" or "Underflow" of the Arithmetic Unit. It is special useful in the DIVISION- PROCEDURE: It is not necessary to count or observe the sequence of subtractions! As soon as the bell chimes, an ADD-TURN has to be done and the carriage has to be SHIFTED ONE STEP to the left. Start the next sequence of subtractions... until the bell chimes! impressum: ************************************************************************** © C.HAMANN http://public.BHT-Berlin.de/hamann 03/21/07 |
