Typewriter

The first patent for a typewriter was given to a Englishman called Henry Mill in the year 1714 though it was never manufactured commercially, because in those days typewriters were used only as devices to help the blind. In the year 1829 William Burt in America was given a patent for his invention called the ‘Typographer’ and in the year 1843 Charles Thurber, an American, made a machine but it was too slow to be of any use. It was in the year 1873 that Samuel Soule, Christopher Sholes and Carlos Glidden perfected a typewriter which resembled the modern day typewriter. In this machine the paper was inserted around a rubber cylinder, it had an inked ribbon for creating the impression, a moving carriage and type arms. As time went by newer and modern versions of typewriters including, portable typewriters, electric typewriters and electronic type-writers came into being.
