Musée de la mécanographie

Exhibition of more than 350 typewriters, calculators, accountants, mechanical and electro-mechanical billers, including duplicators and early dictation machines. Some pieces are remarkable, such as a typewriter from 1878, one in Braille, a Chinese one with its 3,000 Mandarin signs. The opportunity to discover the technical progress of the 19th century to the 1990s, when micro-computing put an end to mechanography. Visitors can use some of the machines.
