Science: Typewriter Excellence
The usually incomplete and frequently unreliable press despatches reported last week from Seattle the introduction of a new type of Japanese typewriter in Japanese wholesale houses of Washington. It has but one key and types 7,026 characters in addition to the English alphabet. A small index is supplied to enable the operator to look up unusual characters. The machine types 60 words a minute. Having gathered all the seemingly impossible features of the invention and having failed to mention the means by which such marvels are performed (as they may or may not be), the newspaper reports said nothing further.
