I've seen a picture of the early G&T typewriter.
They made the type of typewriter not with individual letter typing 
arms but with one revolving drum with all the letters on it which 
would spin to the correct position to type.

For a mechanical typewriter, it was the 'wrong' patent, because the 
drum could turn quickly enough when you pressed on the keys. However, 
decades later, electric typewriters sported a very similar process, 
but, of-course, powered electronically, it had the required speed.
