When I was in college earlier I used the family MANUAL TYPEWRITER ~ builds muscles fast.
Earlier, in highschool I used electric typewriters.
My mother, way back in the Navy Department in DC during WWII. Where she worked they used the latest and greatest and that had to be the IBM electric with proportional spacing.
BTW, kerning falls within the category of proportional spacing, but it has an added feature of sliding the a under the bar of the t and so forth ~ which is way beyond what the early electrics could do.
I've had several manual and several electric typewriters over the years. I prefer a DEC keyboard myself, but they quit making those decades ago ~ and IBM had a pretty good input keyboard with a big hulking electrical connector plug ~ smooth flowing keys though.
So, what is it you want to talk about regarding typewriters?
you are also full, of it-
no one (especially back in the 60’s) CENTERED typed text within boxes.
period.
NO ONE.

I’d like to hear from an RN or Doctor who worked in the 1960’s exactly how they filled out BC forms (I’m not going to assume they had typwriter at nurse’s station) and then from someone in government how they processed the birth certificates from start to finish...but I don’t see either on your resume..
