Re: Data Entry
I understoot it is so keys (well, the actual hammering thingys, too lazy to look up the name) don't interfer with another, jamming up the typewriter. You change back and forth between different "columns" (ok, you change sideway, not back and forth) and indeed sides of the typewriter keyboard so that keys adjacent to each other seldom get the chance to stick together.
