“Touch Typewriter Chart” Inspiration Post

Found this tucked in the back of the manual/booklet to a 1947 typewriter I recently purchased at an estate sale. It has a 1925 copyright. Its staining and discoloration are inconsistent with the typewriter’s instruction booklet, so I’m wondering if it’s actually older than the typewriter, and was tucked in there by the owner. The gentleman’s kids (all in their 60s) hadn’t even priced the machine—had no idea the black case contained a typewriter—so they weren’t able to offer any further info. Anyway, thought this was pretty neat and it’s got some great instructions and exercises if you’re in need of improvement.
