[quote name=\'Mike Tennant\' date=\'Mar 20 2006, 11:41 AM\']So why not simply type the questions onto the MG cards for Gene to read? That would seem to be easier than the painstaking, time-consuming hand-lettering process. Would a typewriter bend up the cards irretrievably? Were typed letters too small for Gene to see? I'm just curious.[/quote]
We have to remember that there was a time when "better" was more important than "easier". Larger, well-written lettering was almost certainly easier for Gene to read than a typewritten card would be, not to mention the awkwardness of typing onto those unusually-sized cards.
