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?

Pocket calculator was available in 1972. I remember looking at one in NYC, and wanting it, even though it was only a 4-function calculator. But $200.00 was more than two weeks pay at the time.
