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? Jack G. "BUFDRVR" wrote in message ... David Lentz wrote: The memo could have have teen typed on 1970's typewriter. 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.
