From what I remember about mechanical typewriters letters together on thesame row do not have their hammers together. The letters in the rows were staggered and had linkages. The hammers probably go "q" "a" "z" "w" "s" "x" "e" "d" "c"
Yes. Now that you mention it, I think you are right. It's been a while (decades) since I played on Dad's old typewriter. I do remember getting the jams though (sometimes on purpose :-).
Cheers, Carl.
