yes, there was an adapter assembly with a 
round felt spool which the ribbon ran across; 
the felt was inked, and the ink would soak into 
the ribbon as it passed over the felt.  Probably 
not quite as messy as Tom's procedure! 

As for cleaning the type, get a brass wire brush 
from Harbor Freight ... slip an old cloth under the 
typebars (to catch the lint) and the you can 'scrub' 
the type pallets with the brass brush.
