- KennyBlanken 2y agoFor a comment easily disproved by a simple google image search which returns plenty of examples of selectric output where the characters have anywhere to a very subtle but not perfect (like in the badge) alignment, to examples where the characters have "visible at arm's length" vertical and horizontal, and even rotational, issues?
- ssl-3 2y agoWere those examples typed in 1977 on a fresh Selectric, or were they typed decades later on a tired Selectric? 1977 was a long time ago, even in typewriter years.
