Oops! Sholes call both keylevers and typebars as keys in patent number: 118491.
The key has double meaning for keylever and for typebar in Sholes' patent number: 118491.

But keys get to jam?, not typebars, if with wire-stringed?

But keys get to jam?, not typebars, if with wire-stringed, like on S&Gs..? I wonder..
Cause wire may able to bend easily if got pressing force.



Some expressions look as : cf. "The keys used to jam", "keys sticking together", "keys to jam"..

I understand if typebars got moving by hard linkage mechanism, like connected with rod or so.
If typebars've got jammed, then that causes keys also get stuck, too.

But when typebars got moved by kick-up, sure even if typebars got stuck, keys can come up back to the normal position with showing almost as if nothing had happened on the end of typebars..

And when if typebars would get motion by wire, also keys can come up back, I guess.

How about on your wireds?
Wouldn't you mind to tell of yours, for me of not owning any wired , please?

Path dependency?
Scince around autum 2010, I've started trying to have contacts with some antique typewriter owners of having up-strike mechanism.

●SHOLES AND GLIDDEN TYPEWRITER 1874

I remember if that would be the very first time? to try to have a contact with Kikutake college, at Nagoya in Japan.. but, that was not for sure if it jams or not.That was for inquiry of key layouts and type-basket arrangements of typebars.

He APKY*1 have reported typebar arrangement of two S&Gs in

1. Milwaukee Musium or so and in
2. Kikutake college, Nagoya, Japan.

Those are not prototype but (after) (mass-?)production models, though.

Two of museums have the same arrangement of typebasket machine, which was reported by APKY. And this is what I'm guessing how is wired and connected to keys and keylevers from each typebars.

I've sent a mail to whom he looks to have up-strike machine, and he read Japanese, but his is look like Yost or so thinking later on.., might have grasshopper mechanism, then it should be litte bit different from ordinary up-strikes.. He said he cannot say much about jamming or not on S&Gs or so..

Then I sent mail to Darryl Rehr, who is famous in antique typewriter collectors.
Kindly enough, he sent response mails in several times.

Mr. Darryl Rehr answered to my questions. - The actuality on - QWERTY history:

にも書きましたが、

Sholes & Glidden(S&G)タイプライターは絡むという証言を、3人から得ています。

これで、プロトタイプ期直後の製品機にjamはあったとしてもよさそうです。
