About kerning: There was an IBM Executive typewriter that did proportional spacing. I was a temp working at a company that had one back in the mid 70s. It was only used for special projects, not for routine correspondence and documents. It was an awful thing to type on and even worse to correct errors.

Anyhow, I don't remember those typewriters being used that much back in the 1970s and I'm reasonably sure the military didn't have anything that sophisticated. For all I know, they could have still been using manual typewriters.

Proportional spacing doesn’t matter.
It was what was in the memos that was conclusive as to their fraud- anachronistic entries, wrong acronyms, lack of knowledge of pertinent regulations.

CBS role in the investigation was to protect CBS because there were criminal liabilities if CBS proved definitively that the memos were frauds.
Hence the CBS claim that the memos could not be conclusively proved false.
