The typewriter features a standard carriage mounted on ball bearings and rollers, along with a keyboard equipped with 42 keys. These contain two complete sets of Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, punctuation marks, numbers, and mathematical symbols, enabling the typing of 126 characters. Beneath the metal casing, the type bars are arranged in a fan-like pattern, holding embossed characters and ink ribbon rollers. When the keys are pressed, the type bars strike the inked ribbon, imprinting characters onto the paper tensioned in the machine's roller system. The side panels are elegantly decorated with refined cast-iron elements in the Art Nouveau style, displaying the brand name - "Ideal." The Polyglott model, featuring a bilingual keyboard patented in the United Kingdom by Max Klaczko from Riga, Latvia, was produced between 1902 and 1913, marking the first typewriter capable of writing in two languages. The "Ideal Polyglott" typewriter was actively sold in the Russian Empire and gained significant popularity in Poland, Bulgaria, and Serbia. The typewriter - a mechanical device used for printing text directly onto paper - ranks among the most important inventions of the modern era, as it revolutionized communication. From the late 19th century to the early 21st century, it became an indispensable tool, widely used by writers, in offices, for business correspondence, and in private homes. The peak of typewriter sales occurred in the 1950s when the average annual sales in the United States reached 12 million units. In November 2012, the British Brother factory produced what it claimed to be the last typewriter, which was donated to the Science Museum in London. The advent of computers, word processing software, printers, and the decreasing cost of these technologies led to the typewriter's disappearance from the mainstream market, turning it into a museum exhibit. June 23 marks Typewriter Day, commemorating the date when American journalist and inventor Christopher Latham Sholes patented his typewriter. This day celebrates the simple yet revolutionary device that has become history, as well as the remarkable literary achievements it has enabled since 1868.
Interconfessional relations (orthodox-greek-catholic) during return to orthodoxy in 1918-1928. On the example of Transilvaniya)
Tyragetia, serie nouă, vol. II [XVII], nr. 2, Istorie. Muzeologie
During the period of 2000-2007 the author of the present article studied the problems regarding the return of a part of population of Transylvania from the Greco-Roman religion to Orthodoxy after the Union of 1918.
For the first time the author of the article brings in the scientific circulation new materials discovered in the Archives of Transylvania. He points out the existing theories at that time concerning the church property (“the assets of the Church are the property of Christ or of the poor people (p. 3), or are the property of the Pope and respectively of the episcopacies subordinated to the Pope etc.”). The author has examined the difficult process of redistribution of church assets when the parish decided to pass from Greco-Catholicism to Orthodoxy. Very often it has been necessary the intervention of the Romanian State in the solution of inter-confessional problems.
On the base of different materials and documents of that time, including those of the Romanian Parliament, the author demonstrates that the Transylvanians have faced with a lot of problems related with the return to the Romanian Orthodox Church, as for example, the obtaining of the christening acts, the maintenance of orthodox priests, the determination of the religion of children, etc.
