The foregoing were experimental steps in the progress or evolution of ideas in the development of the typewriter. These experiments were being conducted on both sides of the Atlantic. In fact, it might appear that there was a contest for priority in the production of the first practical writing machine, in which America won, as subsequent developments will show . Although all these steps were fail- ures, so far as individual practical results were concerned, they were valuable to succeeding inventors who culled and preserved the practical and eliminated the impractical.
