Created by K. S. Spencer Name: ______Code Name: ______QWERTY Cipher The name "QWERTY" for our keyboard comes from the first six letters in the top alphabet row. It was the work of inventor C. L. Sholes, who put together the prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's. The keys made their first appearance on a rickety, clumsy device marketed as the "Type-Writer" in 1872. Typewriters had a problem of parts sticking together when a proficient typist would type too fast. This keyboard layout kept the the most used keys far apart and thus would avoid any sticking.
