Type there the names of great people who invented and elaborated the typewriter and touch-typing method, long ago.

July the 25th is the date of historic typing celebrity in Cincinnati through which greater demand for typewriters all over the world was triggered and the interest to the blind touch-typing method awoked.

- That day, there took place a world first contest for the world highest typing speed. It was between MacGurrin and Taub, under the Remington company sponsorship. MacGurrin was the only person to type "blind" at the time (that was his own method). He won the contest and got the prize of 500$ (a very large sum considered it to be, in 1880s...)

We do have memory, we admire the masters and professionals of any epoch :)
