In the very early 70's, the military's state-of-the-art word processing was done on IBM MTST Composers. They used a monospaced font printing format but used the same "font balls" (about the size of ping-pong balls and had changeable font types) as the IBM selectric typewriters. A Reserve Unit would be the last to get state of the art anything.

Well guard units funding comes from the states, depending on the unit sometimes they got great brand new stuff or put up with old cast off junk. If this was the so-called 'Champagne" outfit of the TxANG they probaly got pretty good stuff

"A Reserve Unit would be the last to get state of the art anything."It was as true then as it is today.
I've composed and read thousands of official Air Force memos during the 60's, 70's and 80's. These have the reek of modern-day forgery all over them.
