On this machine, the tab-rack is removable for easy reconfiguration. </figcaption> </figure> <p>The word <i>tab</i> derives from the word <i>tabulate</i>, which means "to arrange data in a tabular, or table, form." When a person wanted to type a table (of numbers or text) on a <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Typewriter?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Typewriter">typewriter</a>, there was a lot of time-consuming and repetitive use of the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Space_bar?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Space bar">space bar</a> and <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Backspace?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Backspace">backspace</a> key. To simplify this, a horizontal bar was placed in the mechanism called the tabulator rack. Pressing the tab key would advance the carriage to the next <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tab_stop?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Tab stop">tabulator stop</a>. The original tabulator stops were adjustable clips that could be arranged by the user on the tabulator rack. Fredric Hillard filed a patent application for such a mechanism in 1900.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tab_key?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> <p>The tab mechanism came into its own as a rapid and consistent way of uniformly <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Indentation_(typesetting)?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Indentation (typesetting)">indenting</a> the first line of each paragraph. Often a first tab stop at 5 or 6 characters was used for this, far larger than the indentation used when typesetting. For numeric data, however, the logical place for the tab stop is the location of the least significant digit. Tabbing to this location and then pressing the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Backspace?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Backspace">backspace</a> key to back up to the position of the first digit is practical but slow. Various schemes for numeric tabs were proposed. For example, in 1903, Harry Dukes and William Clayton filed for a patent on a tab mechanism with multiple tab keys numbered 1, 10, 100, etc. Pressing 1 was a simple tab. Pressing 10 advanced to the space before the tab, pressing 100 advanced to the position 2 spaces before the tab.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Tab_key?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p> <p>Initially tab stops were set by adding and removing clips from the tab rack, but Edward Hess working for the <a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Royal_Typewriter_Company?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Royal Typewriter Company">Royal Typewriter Company</a> filed for a patent in 1904 covering a system where the tab stops were permanently mounted on the tab bar.

These were manually set to match the pre-printed forms that were loaded into the printer. In practice, settable tab stops were rather quickly replaced with fixed tab stops, <i>de facto</i> standardized at every multiple of eight characters horizontally, and every six lines vertically. A printing program could send zero or more tabs to get to the closest tab stop above and left of where it wanted to print, then send line feeds and spaces to get to the final location. Tab characters simply became a form of data compression.</p> <p>Despite the fact that five characters were the typical paragraph indentation on typewriters at that time, the horizontal tab size of eight evolved because as a power of two it was easier to calculate with the limited digital electronics available.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="https://en-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en-GB" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.
