Foldable Erika (model 2)

To fit all the characters in the narrow 3 bank layout, the design incorporates a smart 3 row system where each key can generate 3 different characters: a lower case, an upper case (by holding the “Gross” key), and a symbol (by holding the “Zeichen” key). To keep typing in either caps or symbols, there is a lever on the left side of the machine which can sustain the two shifted positions.

Here’s some more beautiful details of the remarkable 1919 Erika foldable portable.

The type slugs have 3 rows of characters, so each key can type lower case, upper case and a symbol.

Thanks to its foldable design, the compact Erika model 2 has the ability to fit on a small square wooden case, and thus writing was freed from the office environment!

Despite the intricate engineering, the foldable Erika is this easy to store and get back to action.

A gorgeous Klein-Adler 2 from 1930!

The Klein-Alder is one of the few rare typewriter models employing the thrust-action mechanism invented in 1896 by Wellington Parker Kidder, which places the type-bars in parallel to the table, and they slide directly forward to meet the paper on the platen.
