HISTORY OF TYPEWRITERS |
|
| 1714 | A special king's order gave an operator of the London water-supplying station Henry Mills the right to "design machines and an artificial method of continuous typing of separate letters as if in hand writing". Mills had an idea of designing a machine with a successive moving of levers, which was a prototype of typewriters.
