Hi Martin...yes Norma Jean.
Hi Sky,
Thanks for the correction. Is the Special the normal width and the Universal in wider carriage offerings ? I do not follow Adlers much.

Browsing Amazon and I found this :
Out of print by the look of it, but plenty of typewriters to identify I should think

Re: Typewriter Pin-Ups...
The Adler Special was a model in its own right - an 'industrial portable'. Designed to be carried from room to room in an office, it had a carriage lock but no carry case and was about the same footprint as a standard - but lower and 'squatter'. It wasn't a roaring success, although Adler persisted with it for years - probably in an attempt to recover the money spent on development and tooling !

Thanks Tom...I appreciate your inputs.
My AMC (Alpina) reminds me of what you mention about the Adler Special. It feels like a standard on my desk (just a bit smaller and not as tall). But it did come with a case.

Great film, and it pops up a few times in this thread (topic):
