In 1873, E. Remington and Sons - a New York company with a history of manufacturing guns, and then sewing machines - produced the first commercial typewriter. It used the QWERTY layout, still used today, that was designed by Christopher Sholes. Five years later, the Remington Number 2 was released, giving operators access to upper and lower case characters through the use of the Shift key.
