A Music Typewriter from 1936.
The "Keaton Music Typewriter," patented in 1936, was a musical notation typewriter invented by Robert H. Keaton. It was designed to facilitate the printing of sheet music by using a specialized keyboard to represent musical symbols, making it easier for musicians and publishers to create large quantities of music scores.
