Brunsviga (1892)

Brunsviga models before 1927

up to s/n 192,308 (ca. 1943) the model had clearance for the input, handles for the carriage movement on both sides and black color. After that (s/n 233,876 - 248,845), no clearance for the input, carriage movement only on the right side and the color was olive.

Note: later the model was named "B10" in manuals, brochures, etc. (see also Brunsviga Nova 10)
