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

"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.

character on the type plate.”
The paper holder w as operated by
a sliding beam and was supplied
with a device for spacing between
mes. 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

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.—
