Korean metal and wood type at the Gutenberg Museum Library in Mainz

Studying historical Korean metal and wood type at the Gutenberg Museum Library in Mainz. Tickled to find delicate Hanguja 한구자 specimens here! These represent a portion of their Korean type collection, which is partially in storage as the museum has temporarily closed. #koreanmovabletype #금속활자 #목활자

How this long-lost Chinese typewriter from the 1940s changed modern computing The concepts in the MingKwai typewriter underlie how Chinese, Japanese and Korean are typed today. The typewriter, patented in 1946, was found last year in an upstate New York basement.

An amazing discovery of Lin Yutang’s prototype for the Chinese typewriter, now at Stanford.
