Thanks for the kind words ☺️..

Very cool video! Another hidden talent of the margin release key in Olivetti typewriters is the ability to make the indention for a new paragraph with an indent of 7 spaces!

Interesting!.. I think I know it but I have to double check the wording.

This is true.. hold the margin release key while returning the carriage for an “automatic” indentation. I use it a lot!!

Thank you for this video, it was really helpful and interesting.

🤣.. kind off yes. That’s another video 🫡

The Remington Super Riter has a special key to unlock the machine and it says KR. And the Remington Model 5 has a key called "self starter" that leaves an indent of 4 spaces. The Bennett is one of the smallest typewriters in the world 😁

Thanks for pointing it out. This proves that I don’t like them 😅

Wrong about QWERTY. It was meant to avoid jamming but the jamming happened when people were typing too fast. The layout does separate common keys to avoid jamming but separating common keys slows typing.

Design always matter . Agreed

Of course, the "qwerty" keyboard layout was designed, not to make you type slower, NOR to prevent key jamming. The guy who first invented the typewriter, Scholes, did an extensive study of the best keyboard layout for fast entry, referring to telegraph operators who were using his keyboard morse code transmitter. He finally settled on the "qwe;ty" keyboard layout. When Remington built the first typewriter from Scholes's design, they swapped the "R" and the ";" keys. This can be shown by the utter failure of alternate keyboard layouts, such as Dvorak, to replace "qwerty," even in the computer age, when there is no possibility of keys jamming. Please note that the E & R, G & H, and A & S are right next to each other as are many other commonly used key combinations. Key jamming is an engineering problem, easily solved by mechanical means. When advertising his new typing machine, Scholes used a picture of his daughter using it to show that it was easy enough for anybody to use. Since then, the first typewriters were sold with flowers painted on them and shown with women using them to show that this isn't an industrial machine, but something that could easily be placed in your parlor. There is a fascinating book available for free from Project Gutenberg called "The Story of the Typewriter" which was written in the early twenties for the fiftieth anniversary of the invention of the typewriter, at gutenberg.org.

Did you know that "Typewriter" is typed by using just the top row of a standard Qwerty keyboard?
