Typewriter with curved keyboard

This typewriter is quite special. Unlike ordinary QWERT typewriters, its keyboard is curved. If I'm not mistaken, it's probably a Hammond typewriter.

Hammond Type 1

Originally an American journalist, Hammond began working on typewriters in the late 1870s, and in 1885 the Hammond w 1 typewriter began to be marketed. At $100, it was the equivalent of two gas stoves, and at the time was the only machine that could rival the Remington Standard 2. Its curved keyboard is removable and replaceable, and another unique design is a replaceable type-shuttle.

Type 1b

Type 1b can see the transmission structure more clearly, the font can be changed by replacing the typing shuttle, and the language can even be changed by changing the keyboard at the same time. When typing, the typing shuttle rotates at a certain angle, and the hammer behind the paper strikes again.

The design is very similar to IBM's Selectric typewriters of the 1960s, which used a spherical replaceable typing head.

In the early models, the typing shuttle was split into two arcs, while some later models adopted an integral circular type shuttle.

Some subsequent models of the Hammond typewriter also began to use the conventional key layout, which was more efficient to type after all.

Type 2, it seems that Type 2 has two keyboard layouts at the same time, to be verified
