Using Varityper or a photo compositor would create the effect except there was one little problem.

It regards the font. TrueType Times New Roman is a variant of the font created in the 1980s. Slight, subtle differences, but noticable to someone really adept at specing type.

The document was processed using that particular font.

I don't have a good copy of all the available IBM fonts so am reluctant to opine on this.

One of the web experts said that the 4 with a closed top and no foot was used ONLY in Times New Roman and that Times New Roman was ONLY on computers.

Well, I went to the Linotype website and they used Times New Roman, with a four with a closed top and no foot, on Linotypes. Created 1932.

Admittedly Killian probably did not use a Linotype machine for his memos. Still, we want to kill this story, best to be cautious.
