Your picture is great!
One additional note about the executive typewriter. It did have proportional spacing, but all letters were either 1/2 space wide or 1 space wide, except maybe M's and W's which might have been 1 1/2 spaces wide. The typewriter had a 1 space backspace key and a 1/2 space back space key, so you could make corrections easily (as long as you hadn't taken the paper out of the typewriter). No typewriter that I have ever seen can do kerning.
To the best of my knowledge kerning can only be done on a computer and maybe some word processors. Kerning allows more than one letter to occupy the same space. I don't know HTML yet, so I can't show you an example, but perhaps some other freeper can type out the word "To" in New Times Roman or Times New Roman and post it for all to see. The letter o will be partially tucked under the capital letter T. I have never seen any typewriter capable of doing this and I have been typing since 1969.
