History
In 1870, Russian inventor Mikhail Ivanovich Alisov invented a typesetting machine known as the Skoropechatnik or Skoropisets, with the goal of replacing calligraphic copying of papers and manuscripts, a machine for translating into lithographic stone . Skoropechatnik was fit for his purpose, received medals and high reviews at three World Exhibitions in Vienna (1873), Philadelphia in (1876) and Paris (1878), the Russian Imperial Technical Society awarded the medal. In terms of printing device and appearance, it was significantly different from most of the machines we knew, wax paper was punched on it, which was then propagated on a rotator .
Popular car did not become. After receiving the first production batch of machines made in England in 1877, they were equated with printing machines, as a result of which everything printed on them should be censored. This was due to the fact that she gave prints of excellent quality, completely similar to typographic. Due to compulsory censorship, no one wanted to buy these typewriters, and the inventor had to open his institution for printing lectures, which had existed for a very short time [1] [2] .
