Sculpture Made Out Of Typewriter Parts

Early innovations
Even though many modern typewriters have one several similar familiar designs, the invention the typewriter was incremental, provided by numerous inventors working independently or in competition with each other over a series decades. As with the automobile, telephone, and telegraph, a number people contributed insights and inventions that eventually resulted in ever more commercially successful instruments. In fact, historians have estimated that some form typewriter was invented 52 times as thinkers tried to come up with a workable design.
In 1714, Henry Mill obtained a patent in Britain for a machine that, from the patent, appears to have been similar to a typewriter, but nothing further is known. Other early developers typewriting machines include Pellegrino Turri, who also invented carbon paper. Many these early machines, including Turri's, were developed to enable the blind to write.
