'often'?! I would say 'always', as you have to push the carriage from the 
end of the line (right side) to the start of a new line (left side) - at 
least in western languages  :-)

Now, it is true that the truly ancient typewriters had quixotic ways of 
functioning, but at the time of the pictured one, I believe all carriage 
returns were left-handed.
