AMAZING TYPEWRlTING
MACHINES USED IN JAPAN
AS There Arc 5000 Characters In the
Jnpnncsc Spelling Book. StenOE-
rnphcrN Must lie Versatile.


Owing to the fact that II type
writer, to be of any use at all In
writing the Japanese language. must
have more than 5000 characters. 1t is
obvious that only the most general
principles OF the ordinary machine
could be applied. 1t was necessary
to build Il machine which contained
so many special features AZ to be to
all intcnts and purposes a new in
vention.
In the writing OF the japanese Ian
Euage three distinct sets OF charac-
tcrs are employed. OF these. two
the katakapa and tho liirakana, arc
phonetic. each character designating
syllable. The third is the kanji. or
Chinese characters - idcoGraphs - OF
which one must know 5000 or moro
In order TO write the language at all
well. These characters convey the
same idea to both Chinese and
Japanese. although the pronunciation
is entirely different.
This fact has an advantage In the
case OF typewriter making. as the
same machines may be used by the
Japanese and the Chinese.
When *. uEimoto set about build
ing his typewriter it was obvious
from the first that the foreign model
could not be followed. y machine
having more than 5000 key arms
would be AS cumbersome as 4 grand
piano. He solved the difficulty by
providing movable arm which picks
up the type from its scction in the
per and then deposits II back in It's
proper place.
