Studio 44 conundrum - solved

UPDATE
Thanks Ted for this advice.

As you can see, as far as cover removal goes at least, the 21 and the 44 are similar enough. Set those tabs wide and bring the carriage hard to port. Another great carriage removal avoidance ploy.

Oil bodkin

Here's an oil can which arrived in the lid of a Corona 4. The oil in it has a fragrant eucalyptus scent. Over-oiling was the curse of many a typewriter. It congeals to a sticky mess over the decades. The flat-ended applicator bodkin is meant to administer the smallest of drops. Looks like a mini-dipstick.
