Thanks for the info. The typewritten characters should have darker and lighter portions within characters and from character to character and line to line. The printed characters should be much more consistent as this document shows. I am concerned that these look a little too consistent. But a high quality printing job was quite possible in that time and place.

This may be answered later (still trying to catch up) but, as someone with experience with manual typewriter of various quality) I wish to respond.
If an experienced typist with consistent key strikes and a good quality ribbon generated the document, assuming the machine has no “weak” keys, the document will be as consistent as one generated with an electric typewriter or a laser printer.
You will, however, see vast differences from document to document, because of the typist, ribbon quality as well as the quality of the machine. You will not normally see that with electrics because the strike is not dependent on the input and ribbons were designed not to overstrike.
