**Superscript is suspicious.**
Spoke to my office manager, who graduated UTC (UC at the time) in '72 degree in business, she could type 70+ words a min at the time...
NO superscrip on ANY typewriters at that time. She NEVER saw superscript till PCs came out
They had superscript on photo compositors. Slide type, too.
Maybe Killian was a printer or a typesetter. Uh...yeah... uh huh....
I typed many term papers and theses on regular typewriters and electric typewriters through the years, and none of them, even the Selectric I used, had the superscript capability. When I had to put in a footnote, I used to have to turn the roller part way down to position it slightly above the rest of the line, then use the number key to denote a footnote number. The footnote number was always the same size as the rest of the letters you were typing because there was no way to reduce it in size.
