Who invented it and how it works
The typewriter was invented by Christopher Sholes. It was invented in 1867 in New York. THe typewriter is an electric or manual machine with keys for producing print like characters one at a time on paper inserted around a roller. When you press a key on it a lever attatched to that key swings a lever called a type hammer towards the paper. As the type hammer is about to hit the paper, a ribbon of linked cloth lifts and the type hammer presses it against the paper, leaving an ink impression of the letter or number.
