We need any information we can get on this machine. A two search has turned up minimal info. If you have one or know of one would you steer us in that direction. This is the original thread.

Olivetti is an Italian manufacturer of typewriters and then computers much like IBM.

Can't help you with the machine but the story of Olivetti is very interesting, please note that this is a Wiki entry and may be mostly bull.

However, this is from another source, http://www.fundinguniverse.com/company-histories/olivetti-s-p-a-history/

One thing about US manufacturing that I have always found interesting is that the automakers make 1 product, cars.

Toyota makes cars and enormous machine tools http://www.toyodausa.com/about-us/

Honda makes cars, lawnmowers, generators, motorcycles, outboard motors and questionable AI robots.

Kawasaki produces motorcycles and a buttload of industrial robots among other things.

Suzuki produces cars and motorcycles.

Yamaha produces pianos, boats, outboard motors, small personal watercraft, motorcycles and generators.
