*> O © O O 1------------------- and I do hereby declare that the ! following is a full, clear and exact c-script r. f the construction eacd operation o f the same. > ' The nature of my invention con- • struct: r.g a machine whereby reading matter may be printed on paper, either by letters or phonographic characters, by one movement, without the use o f mov­ able types or printirg press. Benjamin Franklin was one o f the greatest thinkers that America has ever produced. His maxims are household words today. In advising young fellows he said "Save, young man. and become respectable and respected. It is the surest way.” We pass his advice along to you with the invitation to open your account at 4 First National Bank MONMOUTH, OREGON "1 call my invention a ‘ printing and writing machine'.” Fr m the description and illustra­ tions o f this “printing and writing machine” it must have borne little resemblance to the typewriter of today. There are nine diagrams illustrating the various parts o f the machine. It is operated by means o f chords ar.d pulleys which control the position of a steel type plate on which the characiers are engraved, and also operates a hinged block connected with a lever and pin which presses the type plate against the paper. The characters— o f which there are 81, including cap­ itals and small letters, figures, punctuation marks and " t h ” , " o f " , to” , “ in” , “ tl" "H ” and "is ” — are represented on a table in exactly the same arrangement as they ap­ pear on the type plate. The invent­ or describes the operation o f the machine as follows: "I place the type plate on its bed and the paper to be printed on its holder, with transfer paper above the sheet to be printed. 1 then place a finger in the thimble and bring the desired letter on the type plate immediately under the pin on ceived the patent papers, which she , the level.

The method of spacing be­ tween words was described as fol­ lows: "In making spaces between words I sometimes move the sliding beam by the hand, placing a finger on the end thereof for that purpose; but I usually prefer to accomplish that result by dropping the thimble toward the table over a capital let ter, but I do not in that case feme the same down sufficiently hard to produce an impression on the paper.” There is no intimation as to what speed could be attained, but it would probably not cause any envy among stenographers at the present cime. Abner Peeler, the inventor, was bom in Illinois, January 31, 1836. His father was a Christian minister and a man who was ahead of his time in many way s. Abner showed unusual mechanical ability when quite small and in later years be­ came well known for his inventive genius. The invention o f the type­ writer was accomplished before the civil war. Peeler served in the war and as soon as it was over journey­ ed to Washington and obtained the patent. Later he sold his rights for $1000. He joined the Christian church at the age o f 15. He died in Lehigh, la., November 2, 1S95. The follow ing notice was clipped from an Iowa paper: "H e posesess- ed great inventive genius, pro­ nounced the greatest in this state. He invented the modern typewriter making the first seven with his own hands. While others have made im­ mense fortunes from his inventions — the typewriter, air brush and others— he did not get the rewards he deserved. In other words, he succeeded in blessing the world more than in getting a large share o f its goods. He was a true benefactor o f his race.” Mrs. L. Jane Powell, a sister o f the inventor, lives in Monmouth. She is 91 years old.— Oregonian. F. W .
