There are 2 possible translations. The first translation is "Comfortably Raised Eastern Chinese Typewriter", likely a generic marketing name.
The second translation maybe "Comfortable Zhendong Chinese Typewriter" as in the town of Zhendong in the Binhai county located in the Jiangsu . Which happens to be directly north of Shanghai, where the pioneering Wan brothers were doing animation experiments at the time.
