"Conclusive the proof that they are forgeries: MECHANICAL TYPEWRITERS DON'T AUTO-CENTER ADDRESS BLOCKS!!! "

Boy, don't I know that for a fact. I can still remember 42 years ago when I first took typing in highschool, we had to learn how to center things on the page before we typed it. We had to count the number of letters in the line, then divide it by two. Then we had to count back that amount with the backspace key, starting from the "0" margin in the middle, in order to find our beginning point. Talk about a pain in the rump!

See my comments in nbr 219.

Yeah -sure. This Lt Col is going to count spaces and "points" and add them up and divide divide by two and move the typewriter decimal places around JUST to center a title block?
