However it will not open ( I am twisting the right way!) and I do not want to force it. Does anyone have any tips? It is from Automatic Business Machines of London and from around the mid to late 1950s. You can see a couple of photos on twitter. https://twitter.com/richardpowley/status/1269898871955742727?s=20[/img] |
