De machine had een dubbele omschakeling en de beïnkting geschiedde door een inktrolletje. Een bijzonderheid was dat men met deze machine een aantal doorslagen kon vervaardigen. In de reclame van deze vrij veel verkochte machine werd o.m. gezegd: 'Omdat de instelarm (ook wel instelsleutel genoemd) zowel met de rechter- als met de linkerhand bediend kan worden, kan de machine ook door eenaarmigen worden gebruikt, mits een schrijfmachinetafel met pedalen voor de omschakeling, spatietoets en regelverstelling ter beschikking staat. De instelarm kan ook bediend worden door een verminkte hand en zelfs door een stompje'. Reeds toen werd aan de gehandicapten gedacht, die door de vele oorlogen, die Duitsland heeft gevoerd, vaak in groten getale aanwezig waren. Enkele malen zijn de patenten van deze machine in andere handen overgegaan.''

= Rare and important work on Le Corbusier's colour scheme for interiors, with the use of Salubra "oilpaint sold in rolls" or "machine prepared paintings" as Le Corbusier called the wallpaper that he created first in 1932. The present work was published in 1959 and was based on "plain shades and architectural designs" and is the second Salubra collection formed by Le Corbusier. In order to make a choice of a colour composition, Le Corbusier suggests taking out the large strips of wallpaper from the album and then combining them according to the possibilities created with the use of the cardboard windows and the colour-key plate. As a result, complete copies of these wall-paper albums are rare (only one copy traced on the market at present, and that is a copy with the plates cut-short). SEE ILLUSTRATION PLATE III.
