Typewriters
Typewriters are mechanical machines. Letters and symbols are embossed on metal bars, which strike a ribbon of ink. This leaves the inked impression of the character on a piece of paper that has been placed on the other side of the ribbon. Typewriters were common previous to computer keyboards and printers.

A typewriter is like a keyboard without the computer. The computer keyboard is based on the typewriter. To use it you put the paper in the top bale and rolled it so the keys could hit the paper. There was a ribbon of ink between the paper and the keys, so when you hit a key the typewriter ribbon hit the paper with the letter inked. If correction was needed the paper had to be changed.
