1936 · Pinwheel · Werk 420 von 1.871

A pinwheel calculating machine in black lacquer, the setting levers arranged in a fan around a drum with a white numeral scale, a wide carriage with a row of thirteen result windows, each window showing the single digit 0, a chromed crank with a ribbed grip on the right, chromed carriage-shift keys at the front, every other surface plain black lacquer and chrome, the upper casing lettered "Original Odhner", standing on a dark baize-covered table before a deep neutral background, a single raking light from the left catching the hammered texture of the enamel.
Jeder Verweis nennt seine Art. „Vorläufer“ allein wäre eine Behauptung.
