Nodin Noiseless Desk Typewriter, 1900-1910
Add to SetSummary
This solidly made side-strike keyboard typewriter is called Nodin to indicate its noiselessness ("no din.") Noiseless typewriters altered the usual platens and type-strike mechanisms to soften the loud typewriter clattering of many early twentieth century workplaces. It appears that The Henry Ford's two Nodins are the only ones that survive.
