TYPEWRITER
A Japanese typewriter, invented about 14 years ago and now in

by modern Japanee engaged in business in the U. S, The characters

or layers. The upper layer can be moved in any direction and contains
those characters which are used most frequently in the every day life
of the Japanece. The lower bed is stationary and contains all the re.
serve types and others which are not frequently used. Itn case a char,
acter in the lower bed is needed the operator must pick it up with a
pair of tweezers and set it in a slot in the uprper layer. The machine
