Talk:Chinese typewriter

message: The main problem with this article seems to be that it is NOT about ALL CHINESE TYPEWRITERS EVER.  Rather, it is specifically about Dr. Lin's Ming Kwai typewriter, which was technologically and culturally important, and is related to the legacy of Dr. Lin, and this particular article cites multiple relevant indepedent sources to back that up.  But there is a super-set of this article for "All Chinese Typewriters ever" within which, this article should be an important, but not the only article. Cranky1000 (talk) 15:38, 27 August 2012 (UTC)

message: There are at least two systems used for inputting Chinese characters to a computer, and which seem to use the same principles as in the Lin-Yutang typewriter. All Chinese characters can be constructed geometrically by using a limited number of shapes. The modern computer keyboards type these shapes in a particular order connected with the desired character. A number of possible Chinese characters will then show up on the screen, and a master key is used to select the desired character if it is listed. With a properly trained secretary, it is always listed.
Does anybody know if Lin Yutang influenced the development of these modern computer input systems? David Tombe (talk) 18:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

I agree, but the way the article reads now, the only Chinese typewriter in the world was invented in the United States and that it was a failure. Surely that's not true.Marzolian (talk) 19:48, 14 July 2012 (UTC)

message: I was WP:BEBOLD and expanded the article greatly in collaboration with User:Finnusertop. He wrote about Stone typewriter. Go sign his guestbook. See my sandbox for the earlier edit history. Here is my sandbox.
Most of the issues mentioned above should now have been taken care of by me and Finnusertop. However, this article could still have some more information about typewriters in Chinese office use, and during Maoist era, and about typewriters from 1930s, 1950s and more recent decades. Sadly Thomas Mullaney has not yet released his book on the history of Chinese typewriters. Ceosad (talk) 20:25, 26 September 2014 (UTC)
