Description:
I fixed this for a friend and sent it back to its home.
The internal mechanics are virtually identical to my 1939 Royal Aristocrat with the exception of the margin release mechanism.
This QDL was designed by industrial designer Henry Dreyfuss.
The typewriter has unique “tombstone” glass keys, Magic Margin controls and basket shift.
Serial number located on left side under carriage.

I'm a novice collector with a very small collection of mostly nonfunctional typewriters. I enjoy tinkering and repairs, so I am slowly but surely putting these typewriters back into service.
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Royal Quiet De Luxe on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Royal Serial Number page and the Royal Quiet De Luxe By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
