+/* R58 index typewriter — the oldest way to type without a keyboard.
+ After the AEG Mignon Model 4 (1924), the best of the index machines: one hand
+ walks a pointer over a printed plate of characters, the other pulls a lever,
+ and only the lever prints. Select and commit live on two separate controls, so
+ you can hunt as long as you like and nothing happens until the second hand
+ moves. That separation is the whole card — R57 is a keypad, this is not.
+
+ Two things kept from the Mignon and one deliberately dropped.
+ Kept: the plate considered the characters a keyboard skips (accents, section
+ mark, fractions, a full punctuation ring), and it carries BOTH cases with no
+ shift key, which is how a keyless machine reaches a whole character set.
+ Dropped: its key order. The real plate runs P U G Q / V I N A B / L D E T M,
+ a frequency layout you cannot read your way around — and reading the plate is
+ the entire interaction. Ours is alphabetical, capitals beside lowercase at the
+ same column offset: find the letter, then pick the case.
+ The layout is a table rather than drawing, because Craig has already said the
+ keys will be revisited and a layout welded into the geometry never is. */
