IL patented in the United States, England,
France and Belgium.
About three months before the invention
was completed Mr.. Vail was called in to
learn how to operate it and he practised
so diligently on the dummy keyboard
that on February IL, 1857, when the finish
ing touches were put on the model he could

country and Europe, but although the
typewriter was shown to capitalists none
Of them was willing to put any money into
the venture. ~Clergymen, editors, financial
magnates, lawyers and professional men
In every line inspected the new invention
but shook their heads over it. and while
they declared IL to be wonderful none Of
them could see any practical use for it.

took to IL at once was Horace Greeley,
whose penmanship was VIGOROUSLY poor,
and who, when Mr.. Vail ratified OF an article
at his dictation, jumped up delighted, ex-
claiming:
with che Of these machines I can write
90 thst any person can read il and / must
have the first one made"
There and then he ordered one.
The Rev. Absalom Peters of New York
was another enthusiast over the machine.
He had written 8 voluminousIy that he
had writer's oramp in his right hand, after
which he had learned to write with his left,
until IL too become affected so that he could
not write at all.
When he saw the first typewr ter he was
enthusiastic. and at once began to Practise
on it by holding n hand in the palm of
the other n stiffening the fingers of
the gripped hand. Soon he was able to
strike the keys in that position, and he
at n told Mr.. Vail that he must nave
the hrst machine made, as he needed il
even worse than Editor Greeley. He died
before the perfected typewriter was built.
For several weeks Mr.. Vail operated the
machine for Henry Ward Beecher, then
editor Of the Independent, and directed the
wrappers for the magazine, doing the work
OF six girls. When he had demonstrated
the utility OF the invention the girls were
up in arms, declaring it was a scheme to
put Ave OF them put Of work.
Herbert Bowen, son Of Henry c. Bowen,
the owner Of the magazine, was a clerk in
the ofice at the time and ook especial
interest in IL, but neither he nor Mr.. Beecher
became interested in the invention fnln-
oially or expressed ~themselves as dcsirous
OF owning a machine.
The first public exhibition of the machine
was at the ONCE Of John Pondir in Exchange
place, where many capitalists first saw il.
From there It ~jOurneyed over to the ONCE
Of George Francis Train In Pine street.
