S\/N 11024 – Private collection<\/p><\/div>\n

The “VII T Malta” is the first basic model built with a keyboard in place of the “traditional” sliders. The keyboard appeared on the various models in 1922. Machines with sliders, however, were still sold after 1922. The precision is 9-7-12<\/em>. That means that the standard keyboard is divided into 9 white and black columns, which can be supplied in any desired arrangement on request. On this model, the Divisor can be entered only with the 6 columns at right. Moreover, the first two columns at left are automatically inactivated when a Division is to be set-up.

On this version, made before 1924, the keyboard keys are round and the glass protection is pierced to pass the screws, while the version above (S\/N 11024) shows the new standard, after 1924, with rectangular keys and a glass protection held at the ends by metal parts..
