It was prototyped by Christopher Latham Sholes in Milwaukee in the late 1870's, and was presented to Remington Arms Co. for manufactering. At first, it was more of a novelty, but it set the precedent of what a typewriter should look like, and began the long legacy of the QWERTY keyboard. These machines are generally considered very rare, but they are around. || -
