I suppose there wasn't a huge need of typing it with this kind of machine? I mean, either it was handwritten (quicker than this), either it was printed for mass diffusion (but then printing isn't done with this kind of machine but with copper-plate engraving).

Very few were made, and nobody knows whether they were a commercial success even within the tiny niche market. I think we can see why.
