Parisian typewriter keyboards

Legg inn av singhals » 12 des 2005 15:57:44

Does anyone have access to an old typewriting manual with the
France-French keyboard layout that they can scan for me?

If you care why, keep reading.

It's a longish story, so bear with me.

Back in the day when a computer meant IBM 3060, I was doing some
newspaper extractions at a university library. The microfilm reading
room was lit ONLY by the bulbs in the readers; it was equipped with 3
typewriters. It was not uncommon to spend several hours typing only to
discover when you got to the light that there'd been no ribbon in the
typewriter.

One day after spending 4 hours typing, I went to move the pages to my
"Completed" folder and discovered I had gotten the French keyboard that
day. And a hole in the ribbon.

I've been moving all those extracts to digital and can guess some of the
mistakes (c-cedilla for instance is really a '), but I'd like a little
reassurance about the others. I don't want to re-order the microfilms
and re-read them. The keyboard layout for the French computer keyboard
doesn't match the typewriter (can't -- typewriters didn't have ctl or
alt keys to push) and all Google wanted to show me was computer
keyboards; I tried limiting it with typewriter and got interesting
tidbits about Italian keyboards, and the differences between
France-French and Monaco-French ...

So, does anyone have access to an old typewriting manual with the
keyboard layout that they can scan for me?

Cheryl,


Just an FYI ... I have forwarded your request to my sisters (one with
friends in France and one with relatives in French Polynesia). I
assume that even if they get an answer, it'll be a while.

My husband did the following Google search:
"IBM selectric key french"
and got a couple of hits (but maybe no layouts). I'm not sure that an
IBM Selectric would have the same keyboard layout as a regular French
typewriter. But one the of the hits did mention a French letter ball
for the Selectric! An interesting, if unrelated, thought!

The request was for typewriter layouts, saying they are different from
computer layouts.

The first 19 images I get from your URL are for electronic devices,
the 20th for a harpsichord.

Do you know if there is a typewriter on further pages?

I would recommend Cheryl tries a French newsgroup.

You obviously didn't read the query which very specifically

Actually, Cheryl is correct - computer keyboards are not necessarily
the same as typewriter keyboards. My laptop (Toshiba Tecra M) keyboard
is different from a typewriter (IBM Correcting Selectric II) keyboard.

Three of the shifted values are different, three of the laptop's keys
don't exist (position wise) on the Selectric, and on one key, both
the "lower-case" character and the shifted character are different.

I seem to recall that there were similar differences between computer
keyboards and my dad's manual (c. 1950's Underwood) typewriter
keyboard.

I hope that John's post (below) helps her.

Your rudeness really is getting totally out of control!!

Singhals is a lovely *lady* who has been posting for ages in alt.gen
as well as soc.gen.brit which would easily be confirmed by looking not
just at the posting name but the posting address and the name she puts
at the bottom of her posts. Singhals is an unusual enough name not to
be shared by anyone else.

Being a newbie in a group doesn't give you carte blanche to be abusive
to anyone already posting in that group. It's the sort of behaviour
that will get you branded as a troll.

Yep Cheryl,
They sure are more than 30 years old and I am not telling my age except to
say I am a "young apprentice senior" of sorts.
I was taught to type on an Underwood by the Sisters of St Joseph - and do it
without looking at the keys or else you got a ruler across the knuckles.
Hence I am now a good typist (most of the time).

When I was taught to touch type, we didn't get a ruler across the
