Looks like a Model A Triumph and the spring motor was replaced with an electric
motor. The Alva was basically a Triumph with an electric motor but it came a
little later (when the D series was current?) Happy collecting, Jerry Blais

The Alva has a bed plate like the Idelia and started with the B model and went

Dictaphones with electric AC motors have governors. I once used one to
