Slow Motion
Film suggests new keyboard arrangement
D
R. AUGUST DVORAK, of the educational depart- ment of the University of Washington, has been trying to work did a better arrangement of the typewriter keyboard.
To do this he took slow- motion pictures of a typist's hands operating an old-fash- toned keyboard.
The most frequently used. tetter in the English language is "e," and "" the next, yo it was found that the word "the was often wrongly typed owing to the awkward relative positions of the three lettera.
A study of the slow-motion film showed unnecessary and awkward movements of the Angers.
A new keyboard was design- ed on which the letters are so grouped that typists can get a working familiarity with it in a quarter of the time needed for the old keyboard.
Films were made of typists operating the old and the new keyboards,
A striking improvement in ease and speed was shown on the new one.
Arrangements are being made to patent this new keyboard.
