First typewriter released in 1874.

The first typewriters enabling operators to write faster than people could was the Sholes & Gidden typewriter. This typewriter was introduced in 1874 by E. Remington and Sons and sold for $125.00. Some of the machines had carriages on them returned by means of a foot threadle. Follow the link below to see pictures of the earliest typewriters and read some interesting information about them.
