quiet about saying could copy faster than McGurrin
The competitive “sport” of speed typing seems to have had a similar effect on the typewriter industry and typing practice as motor sport had on the automobile industry. The first speed-typing celebrity was a ten-finger typist Frank McGurrin, the official stenographer for the Federal Court of Salt Lake City. Self-taught, McGurrin had memorised the keyboard and could even perform blindfolded using only touch to locate the keys. In July 1888, a contest was organised between McGurrin and a four-finger expert Louis Taub:
McGurrin v. Taub was a curiously decisive battle. It was immediately clear to everyone, Taub especially, that a good four-finger man didn’t stand a chance against a good ten-finger man. It was clear that a speed typist had to memorise the keyboard or else keep very quiet about saying that he could copy faster than McGurrin.56
From that point on, “touch” typing was in the ascendant. The first systematic training manual, and the first to use the phrase “touch typing,” appeared a few months later.57
