Adler Universal (1958)

A German typewriter

It’s a robust German typewriter, “Adler” in German means eagle, and in fact the logo symbolizes an eagle.

Adler was also a manufacturer of bicycles, cars, and motorcycles from 1880, in Frankfurt.

Then produced also sewing machines, aircrafts and calculators.

Then in 1958 the company Triumph was merged with Adler to form Triumph-Adler.

In 1986 then Triumph-Adler was taken by Olivetti.

Triumph-Adler is now part of the Kyocera group.

In the manual of the typewriter there is a request ahead of its time: they ask for a review, and maybe 5 stars. It will become a habit for sellers, 60 years later.
