ALTERNATE data for 1954-1956 from OMEF between these lines. Lettera 22 begins manufacture in Glasgow in 1954 with 600,000 series numbers. Early Glasgow models have larger key legends, no carriage lock, no logo on paper table and S prefix serials. "XS" prefix serials denote factory refurbishment, and often the body and paper table colors are mismatched.
