Here is George Slifka (Composing Room, Chicago) operating a Linotype
hot lead machine.
How would you like to use this keyboard? The keys are arranged so that
both hands are equally busy. The left hand only used the first column and
the top 2 keys of the second column, top to bottom (e-t-a-o-i-n-s-h). The
right hand took care of the rest (punctuation, numbers, and caps). The
first row, and s,h are the most used letters in the English language. The
keys were aligned by their usage. Black for lower case, blue for
punctuation and numbers, and white for caps.
Here's the shop. Feel free to bring your equipment
in for speedy economical service.
