BTW, this discussion of old IBM Executive typewriters brings back many old memories. Back in the 1970's, in pre-word processing days, I was what was known as a "repro" typist. We typed rough copy on blue-line cardstock, then used razor blades and a light table to mortise in changes. Anyone here recognize the term "walking copy?" The proportional spacing made it possible for use to "justify" the right margin by counting picas at the end of a line, then redistributing them along the spaces between words to extend the length of the line. Proportional spacing also made it possible to insert the word "dogs" into the space where the word "dog" had been.
There was a real art back in those days to being a "repro typist." We groused at the writers and editors who continually asked us to change words, insert copy, and otherwise perform miracles on the printed page!!! An era ended when word processing equipment was invented.
for use to "justify" = for us to "justify"
Old memories, LOL!
"Is there any significance to the fact that the 'th' in the very top title line is not the small font superscript like in the body of the document? Would it have been standard procedure to type the 'th' in two different ways. " Superscript and subscript could NOT have been in a LOWER CASE. It wasn't available, as I recall in a Selectric ball.
We had to use small letters, and manually adjust the carriage about a half a notch.

I'm with you RightField; I recall that also! I was taught to use lower case 'th'. I think that was the clinker!
