The Writing Ball

Once again, I am here and this is my first ever post for the month of October. It has been months since I started writing here. After a moment of dome typing and some clicking on my computer, I came to this thing, The writing ball. It sounds weird hearing it for the first time. 


According to one article*, this is the first commercially produced typewriter. The Writing ball was invented by Rasmus Malling-Hansen in 1865. What makes it so different with a typical typewriter is of course the pin cushion looking type pad. The letters and numbers are arranged in a way that it makes it easier for a person to type due to its ergonomic design. However, like all the typewriters in the 19th , it doesn't allow the paper to be seen as it pass through the device. Do you think this is nice, then leave a feedback below.
