>machine to supersede the pen in manuscript writing
>Mr. Martin then exhibited in operation, and described a "type writer," a machine to supersede the pen in manuscript
>In size and appearance it resembles a sewing-machine ; writing is performed by touching small round keys, like those of a piano, arranged in four rows of eleven each, and may be done by one or both hands ; each key, on the top of which the letter or sign is indicated, by depression with the finger causes its letter to be printed on the paper by means of a lever. Any one who can spell can write with it, and any quality or length of paper can be used, from three to eight inches wide. The type receives ink from a moving ribbon, which can be used for months without being re-inked, and with proper usage will last a year. Its work is as legible and as uniform as print ; its average speed IS twice that of the pen, and one good operator is as good as two expert penmen for all purposes except book-keeping and writing in books. For lawyers, reporters, copyists,
clergymen, the blind, and for those whose hand writing is illegible from age or any other cause, such a machine is of great value. Any one with two weeks' practice can write with it faster than with a pen. By using copying ink and the manifold process, with thin papers, twenty copies can be written at a time. For teaching spelling and punctuation in schools it is of advantage, and its use would be like play to a child.
