Dont' forget, they were doing manual typewriters, making at least three copies at a time, using carbon paper between the sheets...
- When I hired on the railroad in '74, we used "onion skin" paper with double-sided carbon papers in an old Underwood beast from 1884, and would try to make nine copies of orders at a time... didn't always work too well when the carbons got a little old. Sometimes, you'd end up making "stencils" of the front copy...
And for merc's entertainment:
this was from several versions back, prior to the enemy subs shooting back. In fact, they couldn't move if submerged - but they can now... Anyway, points to be noted:
1. I went Ahead Flank, but didn't turn away from the circler.
2. I didn't try a crash dive to get below it.
I do both now... The boat did sink, about 15 minutes after the video ends. Yes, we did destroy all code books and the radar gear, as well as the tdc, but couldn't set the charges because she just went down too fast...
