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!
