Could dmr have used a Model 37 teletype [1] to print his thesis?
It had two key features [2]: half-line vertical spacing control and a 128-character typebox that included mathematical symbols [3].
I reckon that a Model 37 could handle nearly all of the formatting seen in dmr's thesis automatically. If he didn't use a Model 37, he must surely have used a similar machine which also provided half-line vertical spacing control.

- billr9999 6y agoThese are things needed, yes. But the Meyer draft of the thesis was typed in January 1968, the Model 37 wasn't produced until 1968. Can't rule anything out yet, this is a great suggestion will keep digging.
