Someone suggested it could be designed for use with gloves. But it sure looks like a typesetting situation. So no idea why they'd need gloves. Maybe it slows typists down to reduce errors?

Yeah, I wasn't going to mention that....
Typographers of the hot-metal era might have been concerned about keeping ink off their hands, but it's really not an issue with more recent technology! In any case, one would definitely not want to type in gloves. To reduce errors, practice, practice, practice.
