A Typewriter for the One-Armed.

From the Popular Science Monthly.
A German has invented a typewriter
that can be worked with one hand and
one foot. A perfect hand is not re-
ouired, for the writing is done by NOV
ing a lever to left and right and the
only other hand-movement demanded
is the grasping of the paper for in
sertion The typewriter has no key
board and the characters are on a type
cylinder. A number of the ordinary
movements of typewriter are pro-
duced by pedals worked by the foot.
Thus the paper is introduced by means
of the hand and foot, and the spacing
of the words is controlled by the foot,
the moving upward Of the paper after
a line Is written is caused by the foot,
and the shifting of the type-cylinder
for capitals, small letters, or figures Ia
also done by foot.

is by no means amateurish; as q water
