Olivetti Lettera 32 Carraige Jammed to the left.

It sounds like the cord under the carriage has wrapped itself round the side of the small round spring drum thereby locking the carriage. Should take a tech about 20mins to fix.

Under the moving carriage and rubber cylinder, there is a little flexible wire wrapping on a cylindric box with a spring inside, in the fix part of the machine.
Its function is to move the carriagage step by step or to a tab, or at the end of the run, with the force of the spring, charged by your manual movement of the left hand, when the bell make its sound.

Often the wire broke when it's very old, or fall out of the cylindric path, or in the worst case the spring reach the end of its life.

To be honest I doesn't understand very well your question, but I send you anyway a suggestion! Maybe we will lucky.
Send me an information about the evolution.
