There is one place in the document that leads me to believe that it was at least done with a typewriter.

Look at the M.H. Miller, Deputy Registrar, I would like to see if someone can duplicate the “period” being on top of the “M” in a Word Program.

Reminds me of back when I used a typewriter for the school newsletter and left something out and went back and tried to squeeze it in.

I used to have a laugh riot taking .doc into mac (through my XT/Apple interface device, available at computer stores at for $35.00 each ~ not all that popular as it turned out).

Once there I'd take the image into MACDRAW and tone it up to match Washington Post font. Could paste an article in the daily newspaper I left on the table in the swingroom that'd curl the hair of the dead.

Do the story at home. Transfer it to Mac format at home. Do the "editing" before work in the morning on a really great MAC system. Set the news in place just at lunch.

That "dot" ain't no thing. Not saying any of this is faux, but we have a standard here ~ was something done that could not be done at the time, that time being the date of "printing" which another Freeper noted was 1964, not 1961.

BTW, materials produced in Malaysia were far more advanced than those produced in Kenya in that year, and the document presented to us is better than contemperanous Malaysia documents I've seen in recent times.

Jus'sayin' be careful with this one.

It is not a Microsoft Word program — it is an old manual typewriter that some of us have used at one time. My Mom had one. Looks like a ribbon one where some of the letters are darker then others which comes from either not cleaning the keys or certain fingers strike the keys harder then others.
