Excellent! Well done with the bell.

Duna,
You know you cannot come here, talk about a great typewriter, and not show us any photos of your machine... LOL
Like the guys in the photo, below, will tell you...

yeah you are right I know. I have the pictures but ... I tried many times to insert pictures in posts on these fora but to no avail. I followed the instructions given (process is quite simple after all) but for some reason the link created inside the published post is always broken. Maybe the free services I use to upload pictures are not palatable by the 'boardhost' webservers . I have a Flickr account as well but cannot figure how to 'extract' url of pictures published there (used to be possible, but not anymore, it appears).

I use this photo-sharing site :
Once you have saved an image, you have a choice to "copy" your photo as a "direct link" and then you cut & paste it your open dialogue box by clicking on the "image icon an dropping it in.

Here the margin setting tabs are still under a cleverly designed metal black cover
Here they are shown visible under the open cover, revealing they are almost identical to those on the well-known Hermes Baby. Very nice.

Hi Duna,
My Swedish Halda P made in 1955 has a similar set-up for its "hidden" margin stops.

oh my, a Halda typewriter. They are somehow well known in Italy as Lagomarsino rebadged and sold on the Italian market Addo machines (adders, the Totalia was a rebadged Addo X adder machine) under the brand Lagomarsino, who was a serious competitor in this niche for market leader Olivetti. They also sold Halda typewriters, mainly standards afaik, but also portables. This example is gorgeous.
I have been always curious, as precious little is written about these well engineered Swedish machines: are these P model , carriage shift or basket shift?

Hi Duna,
My Halda P is a basket-shifter. Same with the Facit/ADDO typewriters I have in my collection.
