Snowshoe, Actually the MagCard was introduced in 1969. Yes, it had memory, but only enough memory to hold one, maybe two single-spaced pages per card. Come 1974, this is what became the love of my typewriting life, the IBM MemoryWriter-100: etypewriters.com It could hold 100 to 200 single-spaced pages. Its operation was smooth. For its day and beyond, it was one fine, fantastic machine. It did just about everything but drive me to work. <g> Before you ask, it did NOT have proportional spacing, per se, and aside from being a year or two too late, it could not have produced the documents in question. - Holly
