Hmm. Left Control is still adjacent to Shift, though.

This 1930s US Army typewriter has a Shift Lock, but it's up where 1 is today, not adjacent to Shift. I don't think that it's essential, even with a mechanical coupling, to have them adjacent.

I mean, I'd think that unless maybe you have one of those electric typewriters with an LCD display, there isn't a Control key at all, so I totally get giving the slot to Caps Lock on a typewriter then.
