Why are the keys on the qwerty key board arranged the way they are?

This goes back to the first typewriters in the 1800s that were mechanical manual machines. Originally the keys were arranged in alphabetical order. However typing english text on such a keyboard resulted in too many hammer clash jams (adjacent hammers would get stuck against each other and the typist would have to stop and unjam the machine). The fix, after some experimentation, was to jumble the keys into the modern "qwerty" order so that it was very rare for adjacent keys to be typed in sequence.
