Mignon Nº4 Index Vintage Manual Typewriter, Serviced

ABOUT:
Typewriter of the type-sleeve index class, manufactured by the Allgemeine Electrizitats Gesellschaft (AEG) of Berlin, Germany. The machine was developed by AEG in 1901-1902 based on a 1901 patent by Louis Sell of Berlin. The Model 4 entered production in 1924. The Mignon remained in production in various models up to the 1930s. In operation, a pointer is moved across a curved rectangular character index to select the desired character. As the pointer is moved so the type-sleeve is rotated and shifted to bring the selected character to the printing point. The printing key (the middle key of the three at the front of the machine) is then depressed, forcing the character and the ink ribbon onto the paper. The left-hand key is the space key and the right-hand key is the backspace key. This model was produced in 1924 (s/n 266175).
