	Science Museum \| Typewriters - machines to supersede the pen \| Introduction (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The evolution of the typewriter is part of the ongoing history of the human need to communicate.
		The development of the typewriter was the result of a desire both to speed up this process and to produce an aid for the blind in reading and writing.
		During the 1880's many different types of typewriters were designed, but the one which developed the style we know today was the Underwood No.1, invented by F. Wagner and produced by the Wagner and Underwood Company.

	Typewriter
		The next patent issued for a typewriter was granted to the American inventor William Austin Burt in 1829 for a machine with type arranged on a semicircular wheel that was revolved to the desired letter, then pressed against the paper.
		Typebars of early commercial typewriters struck the paper at the bottom of the platen; the line being written was thus not visible to the operator.
		In this typewriter all the typefaces were mounted on the outside of a single small cylinder that was revolved and moved up and down by the action of the keys to place the proper letter in the typing space.

	typewriter. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Activated through a series of levers or an electronic impulse when its key is pressed, the type strikes the paper in the machine through an inked ribbon; the carriage holding the paper then automatically moves, providing space for the next character.
		Nonetheless, the typewriter was almost completely superseded by personal computers using word-processing software and printers by the mid-1990s; the machines are still used for specialized printing functions.
		Other forms of typewriters included the stock ticker, which recorded its message on a narrow strip of paper, and the teletypewriter, which transmitted typing over an electric circuit such as the telephone or telegraph.

		The earliest known typewriter design was patented by Henry Mill in England in 1714.
		The first typewriter patented by Sholes included an alphabetical layout of keys, but Remington's first commercial typewriter had the QWERTY keyboard, designed by Sholes to stop the mechanical keys getting jammed together as they had in earlier alphabetical arrangements.
		More recent typewriters work electronically, are equipped with a memory, and can be given an interface that enables them to be connected to a computer.

	Typewriter Tins
		The Underwood Typewriter set the new standard in the industry for the next 60 years, and so the vast majority of ribbon tins we find today are square or round, and more or less flat in shape, made to hold 1/2" ribbons.
		Many typewriter ribbon tins still carry ribbons inside, although the majority of these are used ribbons placed in the tin after being taken off the machine.
		Underwood introduced an improved typewriter in 1895; it was the first machine to use type bars that hit the platen in front.

	CD Baby: TYPEWRITER: Skeleton Key
		London's TYPEWRITER is the musical vehicle of Mark Bandola: probably the most eclectic collection released in 2003 - or anytime in recent memory...especially when viewed in the 'pop' world as 'pop' music - which maybe it is not.
		Typewriter keeps the faith with tracks so richly layered that it takes several listens to fully appreciate the fact that it all comes together in a pleasing cacophony of sounds.
		Typewriter's experimental 31-track disc "Skeleton Key" has a little bit of everything: dense, layered textures and quiet simplicity; clear, shimmering melodies and harsh noisiness.

	Don Lancaster's TV Typewriter
		While any TV can be "borrowed" and used with the typewriter, small, high quality portables give the nicest presentation, and slight size and position adjustments can further help the appearance, although they are not needed.
		If you already have or need the TV typewriter for something else, this add on is far cheaper than a conventional calculator would be, and its display would be obviously larger and more readable.
		In the TV Typewriter, all of the six bits of this code must be presented at once or in parallel form, and this is the only code the circuitry shown can use.

	Carbons to Computers: Typewriters
		Sholes's first try at a typewriting machine was a crude piece of work made with part of an old table, a circular piece of glass, a telegraph key, a piece of carbon paper, and piano wire.
		The first changes in typewriter styling actually appeared not in office machines, but in portables, which from the early 1930s were streamlined and offered in color to encourage their use at home.
		From about 1950, almost all office typewriter manufacturers presented their machines in colored steel cases that concealed the mechanism and suggested a certain elegance.

	Early Typewriter History (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The action of the type bars in the early typewriters was very sluggish, and tended to jam frequently.
		To fix this problem, Sholes obtained a list of the most common letters used in English, and rearranged his keyboard from an alphabetic arrangement to one in which the most common pairs of letters were spread fairly far apart on the keyboard.
		Although typists' speeds quickly surpassed the one- and two-finger speeds achieved by early typists on the original alphabetic keyboards, the actions on the newer typewriters kept improving to keep up, and the jamming problem did not recur.

		The typewriter on the left is a Remington built specially for the Philadelphia Centennial Exposition.
		In his autobiographical dictations he remembered it as the manuscript of Tom Sawyer (1874), but according to typewriter historian Darryl Rehr, the book was Life on the Mississippi (1882), and the machine was a Remington No. 2.
		When in 1905 an installment of his autobiography mentioning his experience with a typewriter appeared in The North American Review, Remington quickly seized the opportunity to use his remarks as a plug for their machine.

	Why typewriters
		There was no need for typewriters in a world where cheap labor was abundant and where machines were expensive.
		Soon the typewriter took its rightful place as one of the great inventions of 19th Century communications technology, alongside the telegraph, the telephone, photograpy and the gramophone.
		Development did not end with the first Sholes and Glidden, despite the fact that this machine set a series of standards that are still in use today, including the Qwerty keyboard.
