The first typewriter was developed by Christopher Latham Sholes in the

United States. The first model, called the Sholes and Glidden typewriter, was
introduced in 1874. The keyboard layout of this typewriter was not the same
as the modern QWERTY keyboard layout that we use today. The keys were
arranged in two rows and alphabetically. The first row contained the letters A
to Z, while the second row contained the numbers 1 to 9 and the zero key. The
typewriter did not have a shift-key mechanism, so it could only write capital
letters. The problem of printing both capitals and small letters without
increasing the number of keys was solved by placing two types, a capital and
lowercase of the same letter, on each bar, in combination with a cylinder-
shifting mechanism. This allowed the typewriter to print both upper and lower
case letters.
I hope this helps!
