Hammond Multiplex
The Hammond Typewriter Company released the Hammond Multiplex in 1913. The company was based in New York, and they used a patented type-shuttle and hammer-type mechanism for the typewriter. It used a curved, metal wheel that had each letter in it that spun when youn typed a letter to type the correct character. Also, if you flipped the mechanism around, you could use "International mode" with international characters.
