You never answered me before when I asked you to give details of exactly how the BC forms were handled from start to finish. You claim the form was taken out of typewriters and more typed in a different typewriter later..please explain which lines (by number) you think this applies to and why and where it was typed at a different time. If you are responsible for many govt forms, I have little confidence in your ability...many forms were difficult to use in real life. Line spacibg too small, not enough space to reply to question etc etc.
It's all very simple. Some things on the form were put there in batch mode (a clerk typist sitting there pulling forms off a pile and typing in hospital name, etc.)
Later on AFTER the baby was born, someone else entered the baby name for example, and other items relevant to the particular birthing center where the baby was presumably born.
The few copies of birthcertificates we've seen from that time are all perfectly typed when it comes to the name of the hospital ~ PERFECT ~ no mistakes at all. That's evidence of batch processing by a qualified and efficient clerk typist.
Surprisingly, things that would be entered AFTER THE BIRTH are also "perfect" ~ which could mean several things.
One of them might be that they had a really good typist on the nursing staff. Another is that they had a "work sheet" that we don't know about but it went along back to the Board of Health Office for completion of the job ~
I can envision dozens of ways for these forms to travel efficiently into the birthing centers and then out, or for them to not actually go into those centers. Some of the characteristics of the letters typed on the forms suggest strongly that sometimes the forms were dirty with baby powder and baby oil! That stuff gets picked up in the keys. You have to clean the keys frequently with fluids that were probably not allowed in birthing centers.
Most of the clerk typists and secretaries who've commented on this have taken the position that this document doesn't look right for a number of reasons that derive from operations in a fixed location that used batch processing protocols.
Birth centers are dynamic and ever changing. Sometimes the baby dies before the form is completed ~ and then what? Who signs that? How does it get rubber stamped? There are all these things that don't happen in a normal office environment. They do occur as a regular item in hospital working areas.
(regarding government forms) I fixed all that. Did you imagine no one cared. I like to think my efforts ~ to leave enough room for CITY NAME for example ~ led the way into a bright new future where you could use felt tip pens to fill out a government form.
