The ZHJAY system appeared in France in 1907, following the Albert Navarre commission's concern about the efficiency of the AZERTY keyboard (derived from QWERTY). It was a new keyboard standard developed for French. However, it failed to catch on and was soon abandoned, with only TYPO using the standard in 1914, as the company's sales catalog shows.
