Editing QWERTY (section)

===1878 onwards: Promoting QWERTY===
The first typing schools for QWERTY arrived in the 1878's, the first with William Wyckoff's six-finger method for the Remington No. 2, followed by Elizabeth Longley's eight-finger method for the Remington Standard.
Wyckoff's school entered into a partnership with Remington - one of many to follow between typing schools and typewriter manufacturers.
Those early methods were however somewhat different to the [[touch typing]] method used today: for instance, both had the left hand's "columns" slanting the other way.
Following these, Remington did divide the keyboard into left- and right-hand keys (with '''6''' on the right side) in the typewriters' documentation<ref name="typewriterorg1889remstd2"/>.

In 1893, Remington, Smith Premier, Densmore, Yost and Caligraph formed a trust (cartel) to promote and control the sales of typewriters from the five respective companies.
They decided on using Remington's "Standard" QWERTY layout as standard.
