This exhibition currently running at the National Museum of Scotland<\/a> charts the evolution of these machines, from their inception as curious pieces of technology, to stylish mid-century models that are now highly coveted collectors\u2019 pieces. <\/span><\/p>\n

Drawing together typewriters, including an 1876 Sholes & Glidden example, which was the first to have a QWERTY keyboard, and the 1970s design icon, the Olivetti Valentine, the exhibition explores their role in society, the arts and popular culture through the personal stories of those who designed, made and used them.<\/span><\/p>\n
