EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, World Champion Typist Albert Tangora (1899-1978) showcases his remarkable typing skills, having set the world record for sustained typing on a manual keyboard for one hour at an astounding speed of 147 words per minute on October 22, 1923. The image, taken circa 1928, captures Tangora's intense focus and unwavering concentration as he types on an Underwood Standard typewriter, featuring a classic QWERTY keyboard. After a brief rest, Tangora's impressive performance continued, as he typed an impressive 159 words in just one minute. This remarkable feat, achieved over nine decades ago, still stands as the world record for manual typewriter typing to the present day. With a slicked-back hairstyle and a confident smile, Tangora embodies the spirit of speed and communication, demonstrating the power and efficiency of the typewriter as a tool for written expression.
