TypewriterIn 1906, U.S. patent No. 830,115 was issued to Robert Eugene Turner of Norfolk, Virginia, for his invention of a "Type Writing Machine,"(typewriter) with a carriage powered by a motor to "return automatically when the end of the writing-line is reached, also to return same by pressing a key-lever on the keyboard to return the carriage at any point of its stroke." Also, line spacing was provided by manual or automatic means. A low-powered motor was adapted to feed the carriage in the printing direction, a high-powered motor for returning the carriage in the reverse direction, and the necessary mechanism to control their action. A buffering mechanism was included to reduce the impact of the returning carriage at the end of its reverse stroke.«[Image: two figures from patent 830,115 showing details of carriage and platen (top) and a sectional elevation of the type writing machine showing the general arrangement of the mechanism.] |
