This question most likely refers to a typewriter or an old-style mechanical printing device (like a Linotype machine), where a "type bar" is a physical metal arm.

In the case of a standard mechanical typewriter, each type bar typically had two characters mounted on it:

• One character (usually lowercase or a number) for the normal key press.

• A second character (usually uppercase or a symbol) that was accessed by holding down the Shift key.
