A Detailed Animated Tour Inside a Mechanical Typewriter

Jake O’Neal of Animagraffs used descriptive language and detailed animation to offer a thorough tour of a mechanical typewriter from the early 20th Century. The animation visually dissects every part while O’Neal explains the purpose of each component.

Featuring more metal parts than a Terminator robot, but using exactly zero electricity, this mechanical typewriter is a wonder from recent history!
