1 janv. 1867 - Typewriter

Description:

Cristopher Latham Sholes invented the typewriter with the help of Carlos Glidden and Samuel W. Soule in 1867. A typewriter is a mechanical or electromechanical machine for writing characters similar to those produced by printer’s movable type. A typewriter operates by means of keys that strike a ribbon to transmit ink or carbon impressions onto paper. Typically, a single character is printed on each key press. The machine prints characters by making ink impressions of type elements similar to the sorts used in movable type letterpress printing. The first commercial typewriters were introduced in 1874.
