    That’s a common myth that’s not actually true. With a spring return (still pre mass production) jamming wasn’t an issue. It was simply arranged alphabetically, see video at 4:45 covers myths.

    Most words (bigrams specifically) go consonant-vowel-consonant-vowel, etc. If it was designed to put sequences apart, the vowels would be on one hand and consonants on the other (which would actually be a good design, jamming or not).
