===1878: Lowercase=== In 1878, Remington released the ''Remington No. 2'': the first QWERTY typewriter with both upper and lower-case as well as symbols on shifted numeric keys. The mode was set with a lever: up for upper case and down for lower case. The mode could be overridden temporarily using an '''Upper Case''' key in the lower left corner or a '''Lower Case''' key in the upper right corner. Other types of customers than telegraph companies started to buy machines and sales skyrocketed. The number of keys had been reduced and the numeric row was shifted one step to the right. Some symbols such as '''.''' (period) that had their own keys on the previous machine were however still on the upper-case layer as before. Many shifted symbols on the numeric row are somewhat similar to how they are now.
