This is an L. C. Smith typewriter from about 1919. You can see the QWERTY keys. These are almost exactly the same key arrangement that I am using on my quite up-to-date computer keyboard. Some things never change or at least, change so slowly as to be imperceptible. We still have shift keys and this typewriter even has function keys at the top of the key arrangement. I write this as I watch the seasons change outside my window and the leaves begin to fall. It would be nice if time were only measured by the passage of the seasons.
