Don't you mean *couldn't*? I haven't heard the "official" word from any
"typewriter experts", but most people are saying the superscript in 111th
wasn't possible on typewriters of the early 70s.

IBM Selectric II from the mid to late 1960's could do superscripts and
subscripts (severely impacting typing speed) and it was even possible to
vary the pitch between 10 and 12 characters per inch (but rarely performed
since it you would need to alter the pitch per character).

The interesting comparison would be the letter where Killian recommended
approval of 1st Lt. George W. Bush's Application for Discharge and then find
out who supposedly typed these applications and memos since I doubt a Lt.
Colonel would ever be able be able to vary the pitch as he typed.

I think it was "possible", but not likely. Especially on a gov't (lowest
bidder) typewriter. Especially by someone who doesn't type *for a living*.

I also noticed another inconstancy - in one of the memos, the expression:
"not later than (NLT)" is used. In my recollection of military
correspondence the correct form should have been: "NLT (Not Later Than)" or
just "NLT" as that was a very common acronym. The parenthetical definition
was provided only after the first use of an acronym in a document. Can
anyone confirm this form?

Are you referring to the "memos" that can seen at
http://wid.ap.org/documents/bush/040908xfer.pdf ?

The first of the four pages shows proportional type fonts (check
the word "examination" in topic 1). Proportional font capability
was an exceedingly rare capability in an early 70's typewriter;
IBM selectrics wouldn't IIRC, there was a higher priced IBM
that would that may have been out at that time.
I have further reservations about this document but would have
to eliminate the nth generation copy effect to say for sure...

The second "memo" uses a superscripted "th" when referring
to the 111th in topic 2. I'm not aware of ANY 70's typewriter
that would have supported that.
A mix of proportional fonting and fixed spacing on the same
line: compare the words "You" and "Ellington" in the first line
of topic 1.
There are also examples of (dang, can't remember the term)
where the spacing between adjacent characters is adjusted
for how the adjacent edges fit together: the "of" in "officer".
People can do this, but wouldn't/not with any equipment
that could rationally been used to produce less than 100 copies.
Computers can do this, but NOT mechanical typewriters.

"Memo" 3, more proportional fonts. More bad things that
could conceivably be nth generation copy artifacts but look
danged suspicious.

"Memo" 4, more of the same.

The only fake document in Bush's records jacket is his
"honorable" discharge.

www.vetsforkerry.com


Good one!


My question is, if the discharge dated 10/1/73 is -not- a post facto
fabrication, why did Bush sign a date after that date agreeing to find a
drilling unit in Boston?

And as I often point out, Bush didn't sign the discharge. And there is a photo
of 2nd LT Bush wearing a ribbon not reflected on the discharge.

All this is pretty compelling evidence that Bush didn't perform his duty so as
to deserve an Honorable Discharge, he never in fact received one.

Every time you post this becomes clearer and clearer.

Give it up.
