Daugherty. The Daugherty Typewriter Co., Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1893. This elegant typewriter pioneered the ubiquitous, 4-row, front-strike, see-as-you-type design, however it would be the Underwood typewriter that would steal the show soon after in 1896 by having the same optimum design features as the Daugherty but in a far better functioning machine. The “modern” typewriter had arrived and the early age of invention for the typewriter was nearly over. (Photo and caption by Martin Howard/Martin Howard Collection)
