Manual Typewriters
The first commercial typewriters were introduced in 1874, but did not become common in offices until after the mid-1880s. The typewriter quickly became an indispensable tool for practically all writing other than personal handwritten correspondence. It was widely used by professional writers, in offices, and for business correspondence in private homes.
Recently, manual typewriters have had a resurgence in popularity. Professional writers and students prefer the feeling and sound that older typewriters make.
