Henry Mill for "a machine for i'm

may be engrossed in paper so exact as
not to be distinguished from print

that anything more in this line was
attempted Then the first American
typewriter. called a "typographer," was
patented by w. A. Burt.
In 1923 a machine was produced in
France having a separate key lever
for each letter and between the years
1910 and 1860 Sir Charles Milestone
invented several machines which are
now preserved in the South Kensing-
