I wonder if there are more examples of extra spacing in the thesis after correction. It may be evidence the thesis was done on punched cards which were duplicated and corrected. I produced a simple program with no maths only a couple of years later that made up a contents list and attempted spacing the words to get even lines and stop having just a single line of a paragraph on a page and a few things like that but, the output was to a lineprinter so I never thought of doing anything fancy. It did its own spacing so it wouldn't suffer that problem except where the spacing for a section was explicit. The contents list was printed at the end and you moved it to the beginnng yourself :-) I would guess a lot of people did that sort of thing then.
