Just scanned three hundred pages of a doctoral thesis on the typewriter industry. My left arm hurts. Will upload to Internet Archive in a few days. (Huge thanks to the amazing Prelinger Library for allowing me to use their scanner!)pic.twitter.com/fiTrJUh6U1
After a careless introduction of a key puller at my party my precious writing keyboard looks like this now. The red key is not even the right profile and is sticking out… but I’m embracing this for the next chapter. We’ll see if it has much less of the letter “n” than others.pic.twitter.com/UneivR8SwH

0_O (The perils of being a historian of a young industry. Asked a German institution about the DIN keyboard standards of the early 1980s.)pic.twitter.com/7VTK6I4gHe
Whom did You write to? Did they honestly imply that all people involved are „retired or dead“? A bit hard to believe, but might be - still, it shouldn’t be a reason for discouragement. I‘m sure there are people of DIN who might be interested - an if they are retired: even better!
So, the people writing that original note - You say that they were from an „institution“ that used to work with DIN on that keyboard. Are they (the people at this institution) more interesting for You? Or is DIN (the German ISO body) and their work more relevant to You?
Regarding DASA - I had never heard of them before. :-) According to their own description, they are a permanent „exhibition of work experience“ (something like a museum). How did You get to them? From their eMail, it appears that they had been in contact with people involved.
I actually visited it about a decade ago in person, and it stuck with me. Thought they’d be able to help…
