[GreenKeys] [Bulk] Telegrapher's "Mill"

[Ralph Mowery]

A Google search shows this in several places.  Possiably the reason. Notice the man's name is MILL.

January 6, 1714: Englishman Henry Mill is granted British patent number 385. It was granted "by the grace of Queen Anne" and was titled "An artificial machine or method for the impressing or transcribing of letters singly or progressively one after another, as in writing, whereby all writing whatever may be engrossed in paper or parchment so neat and exact as not to be distinguished from print." Today, we call this a typewriter. Mill never completed his machine and the idea died with him, at least for a time.

  Gentlemen,

  What was the time that caps only machines were used and called "mills?"   I 
  know that in amateur radio in the mid 50s any typewriter was referred to as 
  a "mill."   I am still hoping that someone comes up with the source of the 
  word.
