What kind of typecast would this be? At left is the output from a Stenotype. Photos of the machine follow. I've long been fascinated with these machines. I learned Gregg shorthand in high school, and played a bit with Pittman in my 20's but never got the knack - it requires lines of varying thickness as from a calligraphy pen. So watching courtroom dramas and serving on Jury duty, these machines caught my eye. Now I have one but my Google-fu is failing me - I can't seem to trace the serial number or find any model or year data. I would have thought it was just another typewriter but nope.
anyway enjoy the pics and let me know where I have missed looking.
These are interesting machines. It seems you need to press multiple keys at once to form a word.
