Tell Tale Typing

TOTTINGHAM police are searching for a type- writer which has been. used to type out address labels for the parcels of poison- ed Easter eggs sent through the post to two families.

To a layman nearly all type-writing looks the same, but netually on two machines write exactly alike. After six weeks use every machine develops all sorts of idiosyncrasies obvious to the expert.

When the police find the type-writer, a typewriting expert will use it to makera copy of the inbels on the par cels. Then he will examine original, and copy under a microsempe.

Peculiarities

If it is the right machine, the name peculiarities will appear in the copy as in the original. All sorts of letters will be slightly out of place, some will be thicker at the bottom than at the

When a machine in being assembled the keys are aligned by a mechanic. He does his hest to make each letter print evenly and at the correct height, But it impossible to get perfect allgament, and as every typist strikes some keys harder than others or does Romething else in a peculiar way, the machine soon develops individual characteristics.

It is no use for a typewriter thief to erase the number of a machine. Every machine has another. secret number known only to the makers.
