While the typewriter has been completing its conquest of the entire field of business writing, there has been another development at what we may call the opposite end of the scale. The machine is now demonstrating its time-saving utility not alone for business writing but for all writing. The use of the machine for every kind of personal writing was clearly forecast by its original builders, as the first typewriter catalogue plainly proves. Indeed this was clearer to them than the general business uses. Many years were to elapse, however, before the employment of the typewriter became general outside of the business field, and then it came about through the development of a new type of machine, especially designed for the owner's personal use. The portable typewriter, small, light, compact, convenient, and easy to carry anywhere in its traveling case, proved to be the type of machine desired by the personal user. The earliest of the portables was the small Blickensderfer, a type-wheel machine. The first type-bar portable machine to attract wide notice was the Corona, which dates from the year 1912. Today there are a number of these machines, including the portable Remington, Underwood, Hammond, Gourland and others, two of these, the Remington and Gourland, with keyboards like those on the big machines. The rapid progress of the portable in its own field points clearly to the time when the use of the typewriter for every kind of writing will be nearly universal. The accounting machine and the portable, different as they are in nearly every way, have one point in common. Both have contributed to what we may call the intensive use of the writing machine. One other development, which concerns its extensive use, will close the list. We have already spoken of the world-wide use of the writing machine. This is not a mere figure of speech; it is a literal statement of fact. There is no article of commerce in the world more universal in its distribution. Everywhere on earth today, where man is found with the ability to read and write, there will be found the omnipresent typewriter. It is hard for the imagination to visualize this universal fact. A map of the world does not help much. Perhaps a photograph gallery of all the types of people of all the nations that follow typing as a profession would convey a better idea. But fortunately a still better method of visualization is at our command. Some years ago a linguistic genius conceived the idea of collecting typewritten translations of the motto "To save time is to lengthen life," in all the languages of the world. The collection, which had grown when published to eighty-four languages, is here presented. Truly a remarkable evidence of the way in which a writing machine produced in the village of Ilion has conquered the world.
