"This machine has the particularity of having a rounded keyboard. It was manufactured at the beginning of 1900 by the Manufacture Française d'Armes & Cycles de Saint Etienne, better known as Manufrance. It is one of the first and rare machines produced in France with the "Fay-Sholes", manufactured by the firm Japy. It is the French version of the English Imperial A. It had the advantage of offering the result of the strike immediately visible, whereas most of the other machines required at least lifting the carriage to judge.
