This information was borrowed from a listing that sold a couple months ago who found this on the antique typewriter website-

"The Remington 2 was the Model T of typewriters: simple, reliable, practical and was the first typewriter to be produced in great quantity. It introduced the world to typewriters and laid the path for the explosion in typewriter design and manufacturing that was just around the corner. The Remington 2 appeared on the market in 1878 and was the first typewriter to have a shift key, allowing for both upper and lowercase characters. Each key typed two characters just like a computer keyboard. The Remington 2 like its predecessor, the Sholes and Glidden, is an under-strike or blind typewriter. To see what you have typed, one lifts up the hinged carriage and looks at the underside of the platen. The Remington typewriter along with other under strike machines, such as the Densmore, Calligraph and Smith Premier were among the most successful typing machines of their age. It was only with the emergence of front-strike visible typewriters, the first being the Daugherty (1893) and most importantly the Underwood (1896), that the under-strike machines would finally lose their market command and would cease to be manufactured shortly into the new century."
