In late 1873, the Sholes and Glidden typewriter started production, superceding the older 'writing ball' machine that looked like a small pin coushin. It introduced the QWERTY king of letter arrangement, probably as a way of keeping frequently used letters away from each other. The Remington typewriter would soon take over the market. This one looked more like a sewing machine, also because it was produced by the sewing machine section of the Remington arms company.
