What is the name of the type-face and what is the make/model typewriter that wrote it ?

At least it isn't proportionally spaced, so we won't have the question of whether or not they had laser printers in 1961...

I guess you don't have to know how to spell to be an "agnostic".

BTW, what is up with Americans giving their own names to kids?

Will the next president be Jr. too?

"It is common... to shudder at the thought of auditing a Junior case." So there are those who agree with that, even if their reasons are a little strange.

So, none of you guys recognize the typeface ?
Or are experts in old-time typewriters so you can tell me the make/model in question ?
The STASI could have established it in minutes and they didn't even have modern computers, they had ROBOTRONS (at the end) !!!

I'm actually serious about the question !!
Why ??
Because I want to expose Alex Jones as the crappy, sloppy Journalist he is !!

His father must have been very unimaginative giving him both his first AND middle name.

I think Geekhack whackos have been downhill ever since timw4mail claimed that he believed 2/3s of the world's population was going to burn in hell. Everything has been a disappointment since then.

That's a good thing. Keeps the lulz factor high.

Meanwhile, better bring a book if you want to lurk at deskthority.

Obviously :happy:
I'm almost certain it was written on a (semi-) mechanical typewriter, based on the 'flying' capital letters a few places in the document, the white spots in the letters and the uneven spacing .
It also seems the typist had the common habit of using *O* instead of *zero* (or is it vice-versa, I've seen that as well ? ) ..

I'm truly  flabbergasted by the fact that a guy who calls himself a 'Journalist' would base his assertion of a legal document on a digital .pdf-representation, perceived as 'fake' because it has OCR-layers (!!). Really, I find it scandalous; maybe, if someone could tell him the exact machine it was written on, he would realise that you need to check your facts before jumping to alarmist conclusions ?
