Have you ever seen the WWII packing kit for  shipping a Model 15?
The typing unit alone is bolted to a wooden base that  goes
in a special frame crate with blocks to support important  points.
Some key parts are removed first and the carriage clamped with  special
clamps. The crate is then wrapped with special paper which  absorbs
moisture.  This crate then goes inside a metal can, and the  metal
can is tinned shut, making it airtight and watertight. The  can
then is placed in a second crate, with three inches of excelsior
for  padding on all sides.  The outer crate was then bolted and
strapped  closed.

The typing unit alone, packed, weighed 138  pounds.  The whole
machine, crated, weighed about 700  pounds.
