The First Typist, 1872

Lillian Sholes, the daughter of Christopher Sholes, writing on one of his experimental machines, 1872. Christopher Latham Sholes (1819-1890) was an American inventor often referred to as the father of the typewriter. Typewriters had been invented as early as 1714 and reinvented in various forms throughout the 1800s, but it was to be Sholes who invented the first one to be commercially successful. He invented the first practical modern typewriter in 1866, with the financial and technical support of his business partners Samuel Soule and Carlos Glidden. Five years, dozens of experiments, and two patents later, Sholes and his associates produced an improved model similar to today's typewriters. The Sholes typewriter had a type-bar system and the universal keyboard was the machine's novelty, however, the keys jammed easily. To solve the jamming problem, another business associate, James Densmore, suggested splitting up keys for letters commonly used together to slow down typing. This became today's standard 'QWERTY' keyboard. This image has been color-enhanced.

Título:
The First Typist, 1872
Descripción:
Traducción automática: Lillian Sholes, hija de Christopher Sholes, escribiendo en una de sus máquinas experimentales, 1872. Christopher Latham Sholes (1819-1890) fue un inventor estadounidense al que a menudo se hace referencia como el padre de la máquina de escribir. Las máquinas de escribir se inventaron ya en 1714 y se reinventaron en diversas formas a lo largo del siglo XIX, pero fue Sholes quien inventó la primera que tuvo éxito comercial. Inventó la primera máquina de escribir moderna práctica en 1866, con el apoyo técnico y financiero de sus socios comerciales Samuel Soule y Carlos Glidden. Cinco años, decenas de experimentos y dos patentes después, Sholes y sus asociados produjeron un modelo mejorado similar a las máquinas de escribir actuales. La máquina de escribir Sholes tenía un sistema de barra tipográfica y el teclado universal era la novedad de la máquina; sin embargo, las teclas se atascaban fácilmente. Para resolver el problema de las interferencias, otro socio comercial, James Densmore, sugirió dividir las teclas de las letras que se usan comúnmente juntas para ralentizar la escritura. Este se convirtió en el teclado 'QWERTY' estándar de la actualidad. Esta imagen ha sido mejorada en color.
