Giuseppe Ravizza Giuseppe Ravizza Giuseppe Ravizza, a prolific typewriter inventor, was born in Novara, Italy in 1811 (died 1885), and spent nearly 40 years of his life obsessively grappling with the complexities of inventing a usable writing machine. He called his invention "" because of its piano-type keys and keyboard. The story of the 16 models he produced between 1847 and the early 1880s is described in "The Writing Machine" and illustrated from Ravizza’s 1855 patent, which bears similarities to the later upstroke design of the Sholes and Glidden typewriter. In 1868, the American Christopher Latham Sholes (1819-1890) patented, on behalf of
Rory Scholes was announced that Scholes would leave the club with one year left to run on his deal. In August 2017, Irish province Connacht announced that they had signed Scholes ahead of the 2017–18 season. He made his debut for the team in their Pro14 game against Dragons on 15 September 2017. After just three appearances Scholes had to have his appendix removed in November that year, leading to lengthy absence. Scholes has represented Ireland internationally at under-age level. He was part of the Ireland under-18 schools team in 2010 and 2011, on the back of his performances for Campbell College.
