There has been much discussion about the fact that the McElroy figures were made with the controls being typewriter keys. This is not fact.
The McElroy Brothers did in fact make levers with pads soldered to them but they were quite a bit smaller than the keys used on the old style typewriters. I have given you a few pictures of the control box on Happy Hazard which is a fully loaded McElroy ventriloquist figure and you can clearly see that the pads are quite a bit smaller than that of typewriter style keys.
