and from the former Writer's Almanac:
It was on this day in 1829 that William Burt received a patent for the
"typographer." It was a typewriter that looked more like a record
player. It had a swinging arm that picked up ink and then printed a
letter, and then the paper was manually adjusted to make space for the
next letter.
