The Royal Keys Round
The R key sits in the second row of this vintage Royal typewriter. The beautiful raised Round keys -- with a long lever connecting to a corresponding type bar that strikes the platen -- give all ten fingers a work out. Seemingly in random order, A S D F J K L ; are the "home keys" for every trained typist's fingers. But in this era of smart phones and pads, though the home keys are in the same location, the tiny one-dimensional digital touch makes everyone into two-fingered hunt-and-peckers.
