No kidding. John K. Addis has made a standing offer. Simply re-create the CBS Memos using a machine that was available in 1972.
Mr Addis splays the CBS claim that some typewriters and word processors were capable of producing superscript as is found in the memo. The general premise is, of course, correct. You could produce subscript on a commercially available typewriter in 1972. For that matter, typewritten superscript existed in 1927. BUT (as in 1927), with a commercially available typewriter such as the IBM Selectric, the super- and sub-script function was a matter of raising and lowering the letters.
The superscript was the same typeface employed in regular mode! With Microsoft-style processing, and in the memo, superscript is a smaller size.
This is just too much fun!
