Typewriters History
The Typewriter, the first of many writing machines. All though it's not quite as it seems as such a "successful" product... -
The First Working Typewriter
The first ever one to actually work was in 1867 and that's also when it first blew up as an incomplete invention so they only made enough for the general population to have one. -
Patent
Sholes first received his first patent in 1867 as a small time, hard working business man with a small idea at the start. -
The Keyboard Design
The keyboard, one of the most important parts of typing. It wasn't as easy as would think it was to make this. One of the first typewriters ever made kept on getting the keys to jam, so the creator of the keyboard, Christopher Latham Sholes spent a whole summer putting the keys at random to help the jamming problem. That's where the original QWERTY keyboard came from, to slow typer's down. -
QWERTY keyboard
The first keyboards were in alphabetical order and people were typing so fast that the keys would jam so Sholes spent the summer of 1867 trying to develop the QWERTY keyboard to slow down typers.
