It's not so simple as just proportional spacing, though. The lines in the
memo are vertically proportionally spaced. That is, between lines of the
same paragraph of 10 pt type there are 13 pt spaces between lines, not even
half lines that the IMB Selectrics were capable of. Also notice that the
tail of the 'y' tucks under the previous letter. The Selectrics could not
do this. No typewriter ever did this.
