Editing DHIATENSOR (section)

==Description==
'''DHIATENSOR''', also known as the '''Blickensderfer Scientific Key-Board''' layout by its creator was one of the two keyboard layouts available for the ''Blickensderfer'' typewriter, designed by George Canfield Blickensderfer in 1892. (The other typewriter layout was [[QWERTY]], called "Universal").
The moniker "DHIATENSOR" refers to the keys of the [[home row]] from left to right.

The typewriter keyboard has three rows and a [[Staggering#Symmetric stagger|symmetric stagger]].
The "home row" is the bottom row, where also figures (digits) are available on its own layer through the "FIG" modifier. The FIG and CAP modifiers can not be used together.

The layout had been based on a study of the English language that had showed that 70% written text and about 85% of all words used the letters D,H,I,A,T,E,N,S,O and R.
The middle row contains letters that occur 24% (13%) of the time and the top row in about 6% (2%) of all text (words).<ref name="oz"/>
