Abstract:
|
The first typewriter was called the "Sholes & Glidden Type Writer," and was produced by the gun makers E. Remington & Sons in Ilion, NY from 1874-1878. Sholes was working on a machine to automatically number the pages in books when one of his colleagues suggested the idea might be extended to a device to print the entire alphabet. The prototype that was sent to Washington D.C. as part of the patent process is stored in a vault at the Smithsonian Museum. (From The First Typewriter website.) |
