I don’t think manual typewriters had balls. Each key operated on a separate arm.

The IBM Selectric was, I believe, the first typewriter to use the ball design.

Someone as old as me correct if I’m wrong.

Of course they didn't have balls. They had hiccup's and damaged fonts. That first copy is of a copy of a copy of a copy of a copy.
