The Steam Typewrter

Worshipful Brother Theodore F. Randolph (1816-1883), Varick Lodge 31, Jersey City, served both as Governor and Senator from New Jersey.  Prior to entering politics, WB Randolph was an industrialist, entrepreneur and inventor.  Among his inventions were a stitching machine and a steam powered typewriter.  Not surprisingly, the steam typewriter did not catch on.
