i don't think anyone is arguing that that variety of typewriter didn't exist, i think the contention is that they were either prohibitively expensive for widespread use and/or weren't used by the armed forces during that time. thus, making it unlikely that such a typewriter would make it into a remote national guard office with a small budget for such things.

If you will not fight when your victory will be sure and not too costly, you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance for survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves.
