    ARABIC keyboards, used in IRAN, IRAQ and EGYPT among others, needed a specially designed TYPEWRITER that — on top of the carriage going ‘BACKWARDS’ — had to be engineered for HALF-STEP-TYPING, in order to connect the individual GLYPHS of the SCRIPT STYLE.

    TIME

    “When the order reaches the factory, the message is sent to the man in the type storage about which keyboard to put together. He picks up the types from a box of 45 trays in order to put them on the segment. From the warehouse the types get soldered into the segments. Soldering is checked in a projector and after nickel plotting, the type arms are re-entered into the segment. This then goes to the assembly department for insertion into the machine.”
