And also, heavy Shift! This is the weirdest thing ever. No wonder Sholes got pissed at Remington and sold all his stock. This is the equivalent of Zuckerberg ruining Instagram.
"heavy Shift"?
Instead of pressing “r” and then “.” you had to: · switch it to uppercase (which was physically heavy, no basket shifting yet) · press “5” · switch it back to lowercase with a key on the opposite side of the keyboard · maybe do an extra space by hand?
you were already in uppercase for the M/D though, so it's not that bad
Oh, that’s actually a good point. I guess those were also more heavily capitalized then.
Mr and Dr would definitely always have been capitalized — maybe that's the secret. You already are in a shift mode so having an r + . is actually labor saving

Yeah, so that’d move up a date of a first keyboard shortcut-y thing from the previous Bennington/Xcel, itself an unresolved mystery:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/905819516801695745?s=21 …

The spacing thing is a very weird issue though. Are you sure that's a real sample. I very much would have guessed it would be a superior r. A lot of mechanics to make it double space for that one key.
Any chance you can track down the buyer of that typewriter you found and see what's actually on the tybebar hammer?
Was important now since I found the actual output in Haven’s manual!
Is it real output or a typewriter-style font, though?
The text on p. 17 https://archive.org/details/HavensCompleteManualOfTypeWriting/page/n21 … has to be fake because it's proportionally spaced for justification
