How do you return the carriage in a manual typewriter?

To start typing, use the carriage-return lever to push the carriage all the way to the right. When you have finished typing your first line, you should hear a bell. Return the carriage to its original position with the carriage-return lever. This will automatically drop you down to a new line.
