Yep, and often that lever had two positions, so you yank it partway for a LF, and the rest of the way for a CR.
But the really early manual typewriters didn't have this. Typewriters are old, the first commercial one was invented in 1865 and manufactured in 1870, and the first commercially successful typewriter was manufactured in 1874. Neither had such a lever.
