Yep. I learned on a Smith-Corona. My folks made sure every one of their children learned how to type - supposedly so they could type out term papers.
I didn't type a single term paper - by that time the machine developed a hiccop; it would randomly put spaces in. I did try to bang out stories on it but just as I got in a groove it would either start adding spaces, or double letters, or just jam up.
Yeah, inky fingers.
But I liked the look and the feel of the type written page. For several years I owned daisy wheel printers to get that 'leter quality' look in my resumes.
