Let me start out with my 238 WPM typing speed ~ on a modified typewriter to be sure, because the normal cycle time isn't fast enough to support that speed.
Along the way I also managed to use virtually every model of typewriter found in business from 1950 to 2011 ~ as well as just about every other darned thing. I think I've still got a couple of old IBM dumb terminal keyboards out in the garage ~ that was before standardization on 5 volt systems eh!
Your boy with the analysis DEMONSTRATED what I claimed on the first thread we had after the new form came out ~ it was done on two different typewriters. Someone following me noted that one of them had been REPAIRED with an anomalous typeface or two for a couple of keys ~ maybe more ~ but we don't have that machine around to look at and the guys didn't type out an alphabet line for us to check.
So, let me say this about that, your boy AGREES WITH ME ABOUT THE NATURE OF THE TYPE ON THE FORM but he draws conclusions not supported by the evidence regarding the environments where the form was prepared.
He spent too much time fiddling with the machines and not enough fiddling with the paper pushing processes.
I'll get back to you on that when I find a typewriter repair man than can turn my old Royal into an IBM selectric III in the repair process as you suggested was possible ;) (Need the garage sale funds).

Riiight.....environments you have demonstrated complete ignorance of. Perhaps he drew the conclusions he did, because he's more familiar with the 'environments' than you are? Keep spinning, makes you look silly. Sigh - Only a liberal would think spinning the absurdities about the office 'environment' that you are doing would actually work. Typists running around switching typewriters in the middle of words, jumping around the office hopping from one typewriter to the next, repairmen changing one make and model into different makes and models. LOL!
I mean no disrespect but how many times in your career did you roll a paper out of one typewriter in the middle of a basic Hawaiian word like Honolulu (in your case something with several letters typed frequently), put it in another typewriter or even two and type in the spaces you left in the word(s) with the rest of the letters?
You are too smart not to know what we are talking about.
As to others, they have a right to their opinion, but there's plenty on this site that make conservatives look bad, so just skip the topic if you have "bigger fish to fry".
