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.


--------------
The G&T Typewriter (somewhat Index-style) was invented by Frank  Lambert, 
the builder of the lead-sleeve phonograph with the world's oldest  
sound-track, by analog methods. The audio is available on the Internet, with the  
hours of the day (for a talking clock). He is buried in Green-wood Cemetery in a 
 solid copper casket and his life and career were covered in an old article 
in  APM.
 
  He came to the US in 1876 (from France).
