| @RHCPfan: The original designer of the order of letters was Jonathan Q. Werty of Englebrook, Pennsylvania back in 1846. Werty, a blacksmith by trade, tinkered with movable type and came up with what is now widely recognized as the prototype of the modern keyboard. The original typewriter that Werty built was 8 feet wide and weighed over 700 pounds. The keys were each six inches wide and could only be depressed with the use of a sledgehammer. Werty designed the keyboard so that his name would be forever associated with his invention, and insisted that his middle initial and last name would always appear as the first letters on any subsequent keyboard, when he sold the rights to his invention to the Underwood group in 1858. How do I know this was true? Well, son, it's because that blacksmith was my grandmother. ☺☺☺☺☺ You didn't really believe that story, did you? |
