Take a look at page 4. Look at the Oahu on both bc’s. Why is the Nordykes O in Oahu perfectly aligned, but not on barrys?
The obvious explanation is that a manual typewriter was used, and the typist did not have the shift key depressed all the way at the exact moment the O struck the page. It used to happen all the time on manual typewriters. Less depending on the skill of the typist.
