Mr. Alexan- der recently presented us with the first typewriter ever used to produce copy for a newspaper in Wingham The machine is „an ancient Oliver, the last of that kind having been manufac- tured many, many years ago. The latest patent date printed on the machine is early in the first decade of this century. Despite its years, thi artigular machine would be working as was the day it was made by the simple procedure of providing it with a new platen (rubber roller). The typewriter was given to Mr. Alex- ander a couple of years ago by Miss Chris- tine Isbister, who died only a few months ago. She toil him that she piirchased the machine from an employee of `ape of the Wingham newspapers, where it was the first typewriter used to prepare news copy in this town. It is not known whether the paper was The Advance or The Times. The two were amalgamated in 1923. Miss Isbister used the machine during her years of employment with the Gurney Glove company and apparently took it with her into retirement. Typists who were accustomed to the Oliver machine usually preferred to continue its use because the newer machines had a different arrange- ment of keys. The key bars, which carry the raised forms of the various letters and figures, struck down from their positions above and to either side of the printing area. The Oliver has only three rows of keys. The top row on present day' machines carries the figures and some of the pugetu- ation marks, thus requiring only two type configurations on each key bar. The older machine, however, has three type ele- ments on each bar. In normal typing posi- tion striking a single key prints a small let- ter. To make a capital letter the -operator struck the required letter, at the same time depressing the "cap" .key, exactly as • one would use the "shift" key on a modern machine. However, when a figure or a punctuation mark was required, the typist had to de- press another key'marked "figure", at the same time striking the key marked for the appropriate numeral or punctuation mark. Despite its years, the old Oliver was equip- ped for tabulation and touch control. Most outstanding characteristic is the way thehtachine was built, of sturdy cast iron with finely machined moving parts. It will be good for another 70 years of use when we get it back in working order. Our intention is to place it on display at • The Advance -Times Office, suitably marked as a memorial to a fine citizen of this community and a reminder of the long history of newspapers in Wingham, the first of which was published 106 years ago.
