Hammond N\u00b012, 1905, USA<\/strong><\/p>\n

J. B. Hammond,<\/strong> telegrapher during the American Civil War, he was one of the first to realise that a typewriter would be a valid help in his job. E. J. Manning helped Hammond to make the typewriter, which was then patented in 1880 and put on the market in 1881<\/strong> by the \u201cHammond Typewriter Company\u201d<\/strong> in New York.<\/p>\n

Hammond believed the typewriter had to allow the use of different alphabets and languages by simply replacing the typing support.
\nHammond typewriters were characterized by a typing wheel or rather a typing shuttle, <\/strong>a semicircular rubber (later metal) strip that could be easily replaced. “For every nation, for every language”<\/strong> was the slogan of Hammond<\/strong> introduced to highlight the obvious strong point of this machine compared to the rivals: the use of different interchangeable shuttles for different styles, characters and languages.<\/p>\n

In 1905<\/strong>, the company introduced the Hammond N.12<\/strong>, that introduced the vibrating ribbon on the top part of the turret, to make the writing process visible<\/strong> and no longer hidden by the central turret.<\/p>\n
