      why do so many of these appear to be missing a “1” key?

      a lot of older typewriters lack the "!". You had to type an apostrophe, backup, and type a "."

      well you always had a tab set in the middle of the page so you could centre headings by backspacing once for every two characters

          I can't find a link easily. If you're on Facebook, does this work? https://www.facebook.com/BritishFilmInstitute/videos/1598631046845715/ …

          I had forgotten about some of these! It seems archaic now, but I was typing these less than 30 years ago (okay, so 30 years is a lifetime)
