Description:
Towards the end of Kolibri production, a "Luxus" (deluxe) version was introduced, which packs a surprising number of features into a tiny typewriter, including a bicolor ribbon mechanism, touch control, plastic paper guides, up to quadruple line spacing (indicated in a small window), and a carriage lock. The carriage lock is automatically activated when the paper support is down; to release the carriage lock, you must push a button to raise the paper support.
