From an otherwise generic article on touch typing (link):
“We blindfold our pupils after they have used the machine a month and during a recent ten minute test we obtained an average speed of 36 1/2 words a minute correctly written. We dictate directly to the pupil and also use the phonograph for dictation with excellent results.”
– The Typewriter and Phonographic World (New York, NY), February 1903
