If the goal was testing, as the caption says, then I'd say the arrangement is irrelevant. You'd actually want to see if different designs make jams more or less likely, so you'd probably be testing all different key combinations regardless of what the key caps say.

Yeah, one of my guesses was that the test phrase has all sorts of different pairs: adjacent typebars, near ones, halfway across, all the way across…

I’m also curious why there’s a D on there, but not in “Sholes Typewriter.”

Me too! I guess they needed an even number of keys. Sholes’ partner was Densmore, maybe tip of the hat?
