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.

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.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
