Initially, the enterprise was aimed at producing ammunition, but soon its profile changed and expanded - they began to produce artillery pieces and small arms.By the beginning of the First World War, the company included several enterprises and was one of the largest arms manufacturers.In 1945, a new model of the Rheinmetall KsT portable typewriter rolled off the assembly line of the Soemmerde plant - the abbreviation hides the meaning of the improvement: Kleinschreibmaschine mit Tabulator - a tabulation mechanism was added to the device, which simplifies the creation of tables and columns when typing.The plant operated in the Soviet occupation zone; a significant part of the products was supplied as reparations to the USSR. In 1946, the company was transformed into Rheinmetall-Borsig SAG (Sowjetische Aktiengesellschaften - Soviet joint-stock company).• Characteristics • Color: Black Brand: Rheinmetall Model: KST Year of manufacture: 1947 Country of origin: Germany Weight: 6 kg +\- Ink ribbon: Red-Black, Width 13mm, Length 5 meters.
