To us, the typewriter is just an ordinary office equipment, but its invention is full of fun and twists. The typewriter was invented by a husband who cared about his wife. His name was G.L. Shores. He worked in a cigarette factory in the United States and had nothing to do with typewriters. However, due to a series of adventures and coincidences, he became the holder of this patent. First, he has a wife who works as a secretary in a company. Because my wife is busy at work, she often takes unfinished work home and rushes to write materials overnight, which is very hard. Shores was afraid of exhausting his beloved wife, so he had to help her copy. Sometimes he wrote until late at night, and both of them often wrote with sore hands and arms. So Shores began to have the idea of ????inventing a writing machine. Initially, Shores found out about an old mechanic named Bai Jina. He had studied writing machines with a friend of his, so Shores went to find Bai Jina. Bai Jina liked Shores' seriousness very much, so he gave Shores a model of a writing machine that he and his deceased friend had been studying on and off for more than ten years without success, and warned Shores to develop it into a writing machine. It's an extremely difficult thing. Shores was determined. He moved these prototype writing machine parts home as if they were treasures and began arduous research work. The typewriter's arm seems to be a natural form according to the current structure, but it was very troublesome for Shores when it was designed. Because at first he was constrained by the traditional concept of stamping a seal that was simple and practical: he believed that the distance between the key and the seal should not be too far. It was best to have the key on top and the seal on the bottom. Words can come out, just like ordinary people stamping seals, which is simple and can reduce the size of the machine. However, at the end of the research, he felt that this idea was simply impossible to realize. Because of the design structure with the keys on the top and the prints on the bottom, the word arms cannot be too long, otherwise they will be coiled underneath like tree roots, which is both complicated and impractical. However, the arm was too short and could not be used freely, so his creation came to a standstill. Late one night, Shores was tired from work and went for a walk in the yard. When he returned to the house and wanted to work again, he looked up and saw the profile of his wife bending her back to write. Just at this glance, Shores felt a slight tremor deep in his heart: That beautiful shadow under the lamp is such a touching picture! He felt that it was no longer his wife sitting there, but the shape of the typewriter he was thinking about. If his wife's head were used as a key and the curved arm was used as a word arm, wouldn't this structure be an ideal design? Shores couldn't help but jumped up and shouted: "Kitty, I've done it!" Mrs. Shores, who was concentrating on copying something, was startled when she heard this shout. She opened her big eyes full of fear, thinking that The husband found out that he was crazy. Shores improved the structure of the writing machine based on the new inspiration. After four years of hard work, the world's first typewriter was finally invented in the winter of 1867. At the celebration ceremony, Mrs. Shores told her relatives and friends with tears in her eyes: "Today, I am far more happy than anyone else. Because not only do I have a typewriter, but I also regained my husband." Her last words were Only Shores understood the meaning of it best: Originally, the typewriter was invented to alleviate the labor of his beloved wife. As a result, the hard work of invention not only made him unable to take good care of his wife, but in turn required his wife to take care of him, which increased his love for his wife. worry and labor. So, Shores said in a low and hoarse voice: "If I could go back in time and study typewriters again, I would never do it. This is how I feel."
