| 2024-09-30 21:24:51 +0200 | <geekosaur> | on the ones I've used, shift either raised or lowered the stamp (or the bed) slightly; keys had two leads on them, so that determined what got typed |
| 2024-09-30 21:24:44 +0200 | <darkling> | And it was usually quite heavy to press, because of lifting more or less all of the mechanism. |

| 2024-09-30 21:23:38 +0200 | <int-e> | But I do know that the "shift" term originates from those. :P |
| 2024-09-30 21:22:59 +0200 | <int-e> | According to Wikipedia. I've seen and to a small extent used mechanical typewriters. I don't know what most of the parts are called. |
