Blick N\u00b05, 1893, Stati Uniti\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blickensderfer<\/strong> took its name from its inventor, engineer George Canfield Blickensderfer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

To run his company, he bought a standard typewriter, heavy and bulky. During his train journyes though, he realized how useful a smaller typewriter would have been for businessmen traveling by train; they already existed but they were index typewriters, slow and unreliable.<\/p>\n

In 1885 he founded Blickensderfer Mfg. Co and in 1893 the company launched their first typewriter at the Chicago world exhibition, the \u201cModel 1\u201d.<\/p>\n

Advertisement for Blick at the end of 1800s showed a series of characters: a traveller writing on a train, a soldier in a tent or a news correspondent on a camel.<\/p>\n

In 1900<\/strong> a portable Blick typewriter weighed about 2.7 kilos<\/strong> and costed 35 dollars.<\/strong><\/p>\n
