The Typewriter: A Recorded History

For anyone who ever loved a typewriter. Take a look at this recitation of the sounds of 62 different typewriters made between the 1890s and 1979, which I found over at Meanjin’s blog Spiked. Yes, that’s Michael Winslow performing the astonishing sound effects. It’s like listening to a time capsule. For his next trick, I wonder if he could reproduce the sounds of the diverse computer keyboards I’ve used in the past 20 years?
