The Smith Premier 10 is fun… you just type the size that matches the top of the key. No shifting needed.

That weird little symbol is a new one to me!
@ was around in 1916, but of course e-mail wasn’t. Still, I think people could have gotten the concept without too much trouble. They had telegrams, after all. “Just imagine that everyone has a personal telegraph that can send words, and pictures too, using radio and phone lines, to anyone else who owns such a machine, where the message shows up on an electrified slab of glass ….”
Do these keys rock forward like the Royal flatbeds? I find the feel to be a bit disconcerting, being accustomed to the feel of the modern (>1915) keyboard designs.

As for the symbol, it appears to be a “Square Foot” symbol : http://www.decodeunicode.org/en/data/glyph/196×196/23CD.gif
The look and feel are similar but less rock… (and I could not resist roll).
