That's really very beautiful ! And a great find. Can you take some more pictures, like also from the front - open and closed?

Am I correct to understand a magnetic field is switched on, pulling the two blades onto the paper? Making it lay flat.

The red oil lubrication holes and the black crackle paint are totally similar to the same in the parallelograms of the Focomat enlargers.

Smart too, as the smaller sizes double weight enlarging papers curled a lot

Do you know if Leitz made this for larger sizes too?

¡Eso es realmente muy hermoso! Y un gran hallazgo. ¿Puedes tomar más fotografías, por ejemplo también desde el frente, abierto y cerrado?

¿Estoy en lo cierto al entender que se activa un campo magnético que atrae las dos cuchillas hacia el papel? Haciéndolo plano.

Los orificios de lubricación de aceite rojos y la pintura negra craquelada son totalmente similares a los de los paralelogramos de las ampliadoras Focomat.

Inteligente también, ya que los papeles de aumento de doble gramaje de tamaños más pequeños se curvaron mucho

¿Sabes si Leitz también fabricó esto para tallas más grandes?

It has a complex system by which it automatically ejects the sheet and opens the marginator.

Thanks, I had understood it all wrong.

Leitz designed various easels. 2 and 4 bladed. Some are very simple to use, others a little more complicated.

Yours is for sure more complicated and I wonder if it was designed for a workstation called Leitz Focomator? The design and its functions imply a certain need for rapid printing in high volumes.

The part you must push down to activate the action of opening the easel and eject the sheet of paper: is that made of bakelite? To use this was unusual for Leitz.

And, the electric function, is that only to bring up the hinging part that presses down the paper. Perhaps one day, you could so a small movie of this easel opening up.
