Sections needed to define the major components

Important concepts like 'carriage', 'typebar', 'key lever' are not defined or explained. The terms are just used in context, seemingly assuming that "everybody knows". Would someone familiar with the technology care to improve? --John Maynard Friedman (talk) 11:54, 11 February 2021 (UTC)
