Grandjean Stenotype, 1915, France
The first shorthand machine was built in 1827 by Benoît Gonod. The first machine was made in 1863 by the Italian Antonio Michela Zucco and was in actual use since 1880 in the Italian Senate.
A French version was created by Marc Grandjean in 1909. This is how the Grandjean Company introduced this new machine: “Your time is valuable. Your employees’ time as well. To maximize employee output, only the most modern technology will suffice”.
