Hello, I recovered a calculator from the LIPSIA brand dating from the 1920s-30s and I’d like to find the user manual.

If anyone has one, I’d be grateful if you could send it to me in advance.

Thank you,

    Hello,

    Another lead towards the Lipsia 11R model

    It’s very hard to catch a black cat in a dark room.
    Especially when it isn’t there...

    Hello,

    Yes, it's exactly the same model as in the photos.

    In the explanations regarding the lever at the top left, it shows the + and - signs but not the "division" sign. If you have any information on this, it would be welcome.

    Thank you and have a good evening.

    "Division" is marked on the right next to the handwheel that must be turned clockwise or counterclockwise depending on the case...

    The procedure is described in the manual

    I had misread that there were signs to the right next to the crank.

    Thank you again for your response.

    Have a nice Sunday.
