Are there any historians of typewriters out there? I've found reference (in a Budapest newspaper of 1933) to an Oliver typewriter factory in Manchester in 1894, but Oliver seems to have been a US firm founded a year later. Any ideas? Thanks.
A bunch of people sent me your way and I’m not sure how far you’ve gotten (and I’m not really an expert), but this might be useful: https://etconline.org/backissues/ETC064.pdf …

That's very kind, thanks. My suspicion is that an error has slipped into the 1933 interview (whether through interviewee's memory lapse or journalistic assumption) and that Gardner's is meant rather than Oliver's (especially as he refers to it going out of business soon after).
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
