Evolution of the Typewriter

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The development oi the typewriter industry is so closely interwoven with the history of modern progress that it is impossible to separate them. In fact, the type writer is responsible for much of the remarkable progress of the world during the last four decades. For this reason, a synopsis of its development should be interesting to every intelligent, progressive thinker. The fundamental purpose of the typewriter is to en able the typist, or operator, to do more and better work with less effort in a given time than can be done with the pen, and the value of the typewriter is measured by the extent to which it increases speed and legibility in making records or preparing messages for delivery.
