There are many stories about the development of the typewriter. There is a world-standard now, but how did they put the letters on the proper place? Generally accepted by historians is the “trial and errror”-methid. Running through all the posibilities, so you could type fluently and without disruptions. Well maybe, but with the first row of letters, it is possible to form the word “TYPEWRITER”.

This made it possible for the salesman to demonstrate, how easy “typing” was.
