| | 1 | Author: | Brackett, Anna C. | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Strange Tale of a Type-Writer  | | | | Published: | 1995 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | I HAD a favorite type-writer — I will not say of whose
manufacture — with which, through much use of it, I became very
intimate. That expression I use boldly, because everybody knows
already that many among modern machines have a definite character,
and that even individual character is observed in those of the same
sort. The engine-driver, for example, will tell you that each
locomotive of a lot made to be precisely similar will be found to
have, so to speak, its own temperament and manner, and that he
becomes attached to his own engine as to a person. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
