I have been a professional typist for 33 years - I still am and I make very big bucks. I spent several years typing on an IBM Executive Proportional Spacing typewriter (the hardest to learn typewriter ever invented). It worked like this - each character had a number of "spaces" assigned to it - an m had 5, and i had one. If you made an error on an m, you had to backspace 5 times, insert your white out, and restrike, etc.). There was a "superscript" key on that typewriter, I remember it well, because I was typing ICC Trucking Transportation Tariffs at the time (you talk about a biatch of of job).

It was a typewriter that placed a very high premium on accuracy.

red, here you go

FORGERIES

You might want to do more than read those documents purportedly written by Lieutenant Colonel Jerry B. Killian. You might have to throw 'em out because they're fraudulent. That's right - some of the docs that the ABBers are relying upon may be forgeries.
