William Church |
William Church (circa 1778 - 1863) was an American inventor who patented a typesetting machine in 1822, generally considered the first.
While living in Boston, he patented the Church Typesetting Machine in England, consisting of a keyboard on which each key released a piece of type of the corresponding letter stored in channels in a magazine. [1]
