Asset Overview
The EFKA model C 28 office typewriter of the type-bar type was designed to automate the writing process and make office work more efficient. Model C 28 is an example of a manual, dual-register typewriter with a short platen, slightly extending beyond the body outline and installed on a moving carriage. The different models made by FK got their names from the platen length in centimetres.Above the keyboard on the left is a switch for changing the two-colour tape. The keyboard has a standard central European QWERTZ layout with Polish characters. In the right-hand side corner of the front wall is a PWU logo, which presents a standing highwayman in a red coat and a tall hat, holding a drawn bow in his hand. The logo was designed by Władysław Skoczylas, a painter and woodcut artist from Wieliczka.
