"This machine has the particularity of having a rounded keyboard. It was manufactured at the beginning of 1900 by the Manufacture Française d'Armes & Cycles de Saint Etienne, better known as Manufrance. It is one of the first and rare machines produced in France with the "Fay-Sholes", manufactured by the firm Japy. It is the French version of the English Imperial A. It had the advantage of offering the result of the strike immediately visible, whereas most of the other machines required at least lifting the carriage to judge. By the choice of the name: Typo Visible, and in all the advertisements, the manufacturer did not fail to recall this strong point. She owns the "French keyboard" with an unpronounceable name: "ZHJAYS" This keyboard had an ephemeral life: it was, among other reasons, a victim of the decline of the French economy linked to the war of 1914/1918. » The machine is in good unrevised used condition.
