Quick Response Code

An in-between message, for no special purpose, if not for showing another digital manifestation of an otherwise rather physical typewriter collection:



The Quick Response Code (QRC) was developed for Toyota Motor Corporation in 1994 to track vehicles during manufacture. For reading them, you need to install a QRC reader app, which is easy and mostly free of charge. You can also create your own QR code easily and for free (e.g. at http://goqr.me/).

Typewriterwasher

This is not a dishwasher - it's TYPEWRITERWASHERS. Seen and copyrighted on "Swiss ebay" ricardo.ch here and here.

Number 1: DREGO-Waschautomat by Wilhelm Dreusicke & Co. KG. Dreusicke was the major German tool- and spare parts maker for typewriters for decades. There is actually a German utility patent on "REINIGUNGSAPPARAT MIT SPRUEHSTRAHLSYSTEM UND SICHERHEITSSCHALTER" from 17 August 1978 (see pdf here). I am not sure whether it's the same model, but the machine shown here was produced in 1980 so this would fit. It could also be "REINIGUNGSAPPARAT MIT MOTORPUMPEN UND SPRUEHSTRAHLSYSTEM UND 2 GETRENNTEN FLUESSIGKEITSBEHAELTERN" granted 17 November 1977 (see pdf here).

 Typewriter washing machine number 2:

This is a Swiss label, probably pegged on the motor.
