The Crandall Typewriter was patented in 1881 and manufactured by the Crandall Machine Company of Groton, New York. The Crandall used a type sleeve, as opposed to type bars, inked by a ribbon. It also used a non standard two-row keyboard. The type sleeve, which could easily be swapped out, had six rows of characters and was mounted obliquely on the first model. A key press rotated it and moved it along its axis to select the corresponding letter, bringing it down to the platen and locking it by temporarily engaging a pin in a hole. | |
