As I said, you're free to give it a try and post your results here. But I'm also warning you right now to save you the time that it simply isn't gonna work. If you're good you might be able to come kinda sorta close to getting something that is centered in its own right but it won't match up to what a word processor produces or anything even close.
But as close to perfect as you can measure on a .pdf file posted on the Internet.
Not really. Those pdf's were posted in very high resolution - high enough to pass as first generation photocopies of the ones in CBS' possession. They are more than sufficient enough to demonstrate that the centering was electronic. Again, if you doubt me go ahead and try your typewriter experiment and post the results.
How far off do I have to be to fail? How far off is the best you've done on a typewriter? Are we talking about a millimeter, or a tenth of a millimeter, or a hundreth of a millimeter?
What is the standard?
