The Typebar

Jump to Comments

Typewriters have always fascinated me as relics of a newspaper day gone by. In early typewriters, the typebar was the arm which reached up and actually placed the characters one paper. Because most early typebars struck upward against the bottom of the paper, the end result was not visible to the typist until two or three more lines have been completed.

Like life, we often don’t know the outcomes of our decisions until they’ve already been made. Sometimes, hind-sight’s 20-20, but there are other times in which mankind is positively brilliant without ever knowing it.

The Typebar is just an interesting name and I managed to pull an interesting analogy out of it. In short, it’s just a blog – this is my typebar.
