Blickensderfer\u00a0 N\u00b07, 1897, USA\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Blickensderfer<\/strong>\u00a0took its name from its inventor, engineer\u00a0George 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

Blickensderfer n.7<\/strong> was introduced in the deluxe <\/strong>version. It had a spacebar that run around the keys and there was a numeric scale on top of the rail.
\nThe patented wheel with characters on it, turned and hit the paper. This wheel had a simpler allignment, it jammed lessand an easier way to change type of character.<\/p>\n
