BRUNSVIGA T 13

1938, no s/n. Reversible hand-operated four-species calculator with bi-quinary stepped drums and full keyboard.

The stepped drums are located under the result register. The vertical handle serves to move the carriage. The machine is a prototype, and was never built in series. In 1919 already, a prototype BRUNSVIGA T had been constructed and advertised, but in any case with axial pinwheels instead of stepped drums.
