Typewriters - A Little Rat's Nest

Christopher Latham Scholes is widely considered to be the inventor of the typewriter. At least 50 people gave it a try before Scholes perfected it or I shouldn't say perfected it came the closest to perfecting it the first time. Daypoints out they you know the printing press was invented in what the 14 something 15th century and it took a couple of hundred years but then for about a hundred years people tried to figure out a typewriter of some sort.
