You're right, kerning is the problem here. These are wet-ink units right? In University days, typesetters are used for final printing of doctoral thesis and not normal usage as it was very expensive each page, and real slow, even so, you have to use ltroff and type with obscure scripts (this is before Word, before TeX even) to use them.

It's hard to believe that someone will go through the trouble of writing troff scripts for memos like these.

Then in mid 80s, Apple Laserwriters showed up.

Also, it seems noone has the originals, probably photocopies, otherwise ink/toner analysis would be happening now to be conclusive.
