Early Japanese typewriters
|
Determined to make their offices as efficient as those of the West, the Japanese invented a typewriter for their own complex writing system.
The first one, appropriately named Model No. 1, appeared in 1915. Some minor improvements aside, the original design remained unchanged for several decades. Video of a Japanese typewriter in action. Via del.icio.us. |
