Our compatriot Irini Travasarou, Kythera's municipal councillor, did a small research on the internet which sheds more light on the issue of the «Olga» steamroller in terms of its maintenance and colouring. On the internet there is an extensive record of data on the model manufactured by the German factory J. A. Maffei & Jacob GmbH and which we can see in the photos shared by Mrs. Travasarou and some more that we searched for. See below.

In the photo below you can see the roller as it was just placed at the entrance of Chora. The roller was located until about 2003 in Agios Ilias, on the road to Black Lake. It was transported free of charge by Andreas Travasaros to Chora at that time. Afterwards, the first study of the area where it was to be hosted was carried out and its maintenance was initiated.

A roller, very well maintained, which can still work today!
