The second line has 111th with the superscript th, and was dated 1968. All the rest have 111th with no superscript. They were obviously written on different typewriters at different times, but it obviously was possible to get a superscript in 1968, as these are official docs, supposedly. Of course the image was linked to from the DUmmy site, so who knows if it is real.

Here's my recollection how we did it along time ago. Subscript or Superscript - on a manual typewriter: you switched from Caps Lock On over to lower case. That was when I was a legal secretary. Then, you manually 'notched' up 1/2 roll on the typewriter. And, I was always taught to put the lowercase (subscript) or uppercase (superscript) in lower case letters. Superscript was 1/2 notch above the line; subscript was 1/2 notch below. AND in parentheses - ALWAYS!

That's how it was in the early 70's. That's my personal story, and I'm sticking to it. LOL. I was taught by the STATE government, at the time where I worked, that this was THE correct way. Low-grade typist I was, back then.

I'd guess all government agencies, state and federal, were similar then, as far as that paperwork goes.

Good grief, how times have changed, thank God.
