You would still have to change font balls in order to get the reduced-size th, and they continue to ignore the fact that the one supposedly applying pressure was retired, and the one supposedly typing the memo to file didn't type.

I used IBM Selectrics all theough the 70's and 80's. Then we got Lanier and Wang word processors at Work. I continued to use my Selectric at home for years, till I got a good Daisy wheel printer, at which point I donated the Selectric to the Salvation Army. I _thought_ I had every popular font ball I could buy. If only I had bought a surplus Government one! I could have had kerning, center justification, and superscripts!

Hey, this amount work involved in obtaining precision in centering and superscript wouldn't be a problem for most LTCs, especially when typing a memo to themselves as a CYA document.

Most LTCs are renowned for taking such painstaking jobs away from enlisted men with the comma, "Here, let me do that. I'd 'Rather' do it myself and get it right."
