It has eleven decimal places in the setting mechanism, seventeen in the result mechanism, and eight in the revolution counter. Manufacturers are: Rheinische Metallwaren und Machinenfabrik in Soemmerda. The sales agency is the Rheinmetall-Handelsgesellschaft m.b.H. in Berlin W. 8, Friedrichstrasse 56/57."
