I don’t think they had photocopiers back then, did they? I know up until the 80’s, smaller offices still had carbon in between pages.

BUT, if they show a point of entry on August 8th, and show a newborn baby coming with her. It would be highly unlikely that a person could get from Hawaii to Kenya back to Baltimore in four days, given a day or two recovery from childbirth.

They probably used a mimeograph machine.

Yes and they were real photographic images using mercury. If you creased the copy, it would show a silver line in the crease. The Xerox came in 1962 IIRC, and Kodak and IBM shortly thereafter. By 1965 they were commonplace.

They had photo copiers, as opposed to Xerox style copiers. They actually took a picture of the thing to be copied, and then made a print. Nasty things. I have one of my marriage license (1970 document, got the copy in the '80s) I can barely read it. But I have copies of my DD-214 (discharge) made in '73 that are quite readable, if getting a bit yellow. In fact I used one of them as demonstration of veteran status when I renewed my CHL a couple of months ago. (and thus got it for half price :) ). Although they never really asked for it, and likely it would have shown up on the background check anyway.
