      you were already in uppercase for the M/D though, so it's not that bad

      Oh, that’s actually a good point. I guess those were also more heavily capitalized then.

      Mr and Dr would definitely always have been capitalized — maybe that's the secret. You already are in a shift mode so having an r + . is actually labor saving

      Yeah, so that’d move up a date of a first keyboard shortcut-y thing from the previous Bennington/Xcel, itself an unresolved mystery:https://twitter.com/mwichary/status/905819516801695745?s=21 …

      The spacing thing is a very weird issue though. Are you sure that's a real sample. I very much would have guessed it would be a superior r. A lot of mechanics to make it double space for that one key.

      Any chance you can track down the buyer of that typewriter you found and see what's actually on the tybebar hammer?

      Was important now since I found the actual output in Haven’s manual!

      Is it real output or a typewriter-style font, though?

      Interesting point. I didn’t expect typewriter-like fonts to exist at that point, but there was really no alternative, right?

      So maybe it *did* look different in real life! I’ll try to get in touch with the eBay person.

          I sent him a request to forward a message to the new owner, but unsure how likely that is to work.
