Ribbed cord. Older style ribbed cable seems to be orignal.

Red handle release. This is more familiar to the orignal 912 rather than the 912A too.

hmm..
Well Clarke I'm not sure, all I know is that the very early 912s had a longer rubber handgrip and a metal switch plate, with just two screw holes. It's strange how the label says 912A but the chassis is stamped 912. is there an A on the chassis as well? Unfortunately I don't know how to date by studying the early serial numbers; it seems that they were numbered according to the batch..and this machine appears to date from sometime in the 60s. IIRC, also the early ones had a different kind of label underneath, which was curved at the top. AFAIK, the original 912 was introduced about 1950..but I'm not sure of the exact date. I believe that an equivalent American version was introduced some time previously. IIRC, similar machines included models 90, 91, 913 and 918? Stephen | ||
