Synopsis
Excerpt from Shorthand Celebrities of the Past: Illustrated by Twenty-Two Portraits From the Rare Originals
I have been using one of your Type - writers constantly for some years, and I have found immense advantage in its use. It lightens the mechanical and manual part of the author's work to a very great extent - reduces it, in fact, to a minimum 3 it spares the eyes of author and compositor, and by its rapid writing saves much time. I have been asked whether its use did not interfere with an author's facility for composition and check the flow of his ideas. I have found the effect quite otherwise. My experience is that by relieving one of the mechanical trouble, or at least of much of the mechanical trouble, it sets the mind free and leaves the author in hotter condition to follow steadily the course of his thoughts.
