Title
Oliver Typewriter Type Bar Mounting Department - 1907
Description
The men in the photo are attaching the keys on the typewriter to the metal arms that control the type bars (also called strikers). Each striker has a metal letter on the end corresponding to the key that strikes the inked ribbon and leaves an imprint on the paper. The letters are in what looks like muffin tins in front of each station.
