Did she comment on the typewriter she used?


An Olympia and an IBM elite. Two old bangers that could never produce the memo. But it doesn't matter. There is absolutely no doubt that they were done on "word."

UPDATE, AGAIN: A couple people have asked if Knox has stated what typewriters the National Guard office had during that time. According to the Dallas Morning News:

She said the typeface on the documents did not match either of the two typewriters that she used during her time with the Guard. She identified those machines as a mechanical Olympia typewriter and the IBM Selectric that replaced it in the early 1970s.
She spoke fondly of the Olympia, which she said had a key with the "th" superscript character that has been the focus of much debate in the CBS memos.

This is moot, of course, because she said the memos CBS showed in its report are fakes. And neither typewriter could generate a document looking like CBS' memos.
