To avoid jamming typebars with adjacent and commonly used pairs of letters, they arranged the keyboard with these first six letters on the left of the top row and other letters distributed based on frequency of use. Their "QWERTY" system is still the standard for arranging letters. One point of view was to slow down typists :)
