About this title

Synopsis

This very rare volume rescues the typewriter from historic neglect. It ranges from the 1829 Burt Machine, the first to be issued a patent, to more streamlined 20th century models. Over 280 different varieties include the Yu Ess, Dactygam, Dollar, Ford, Hammond, Oliver, Remington, L. C. Smith, and Underwood. 165 halftones, 95 line illustrations.
