If there's no salt, there's nothing to dissolve. So you got solvent but nothing solvable, so no solution. Ask any chemist.

Not directly, lineage goes through teleprinters. There you didn't have a single lever which did both (LF by three sprockets on the cogwheel under the lever, CR by pushing the whole drum to the left), but rather two electromagnetic things, one to roll the drum by one line (LF) the other to push it to the left (return the carriage, please). Most of the lower 32 characters of the ASCII set also originate from teleprinters - chr(7) actually rang a physical bell.
