You know what? This document was not created in 1973. Maybe it's a transcription, but that's Times New Roman, and those are curly apostrophes, and there's just no way. Also, it's a lousy CYA memo, since it's just claims with no backing evidence.

CBS needs to provide an evidence trail for those memos, or give up on their authenticity.

No. IBM Executive models were doing proportional fonts. That was the difference between them and Selectrics. The Executive was first released in 1948, replacing the 04, released in 1941, which also did proportional spacing.

I have no information on the commonness or uncommonness of proportional font producing typewriters, but they are older the GWB.
