Representative Ford. It may be admitted.
(Commission Exhibit No. 797 was marked and received in evidence.)
Mr. Eisenberg. Do you have extra copies of that?
Mr. Cole. I am sorry; I do not.
Mr. Eisenberg. Could you hold these photographs so that the Commission can see them, and illustrate your point concerning the use of more than one typewriter?
Mr. Cole. The selective service number shows typewriting which has a fairly light deposit of ink from the ribbon. It also shows typewriting with a somewhat heavier deposit. Now, there is a clear difference in the design of the figure "4" which shows that two different typewriters were used.
Mr. Eisenberg. Can you think of any reason why that might have been done, why two different typewriters were used?
Mr. Cole. Well, here again the typewriter shown by the typewriter impression has a rather poor legibility and it is my theory that a person producing typing of such limited legibility might well move the job over to another typewriter having a more heavily inked ribbon. I might say also that it is quite difficult to type on this glossy photographic paper. The ink won't come down from the ribbon nearly as well on such a surface as it does on ordinary bond paper.
Mr. Eisenberg. Now, you have also reproduced the back, the reverse side, of 795 in your photograph 797. Is the typewriting on the back, illustrated in 797, that contained in the light-impression typewriter shown on the front, or the heavy-impression typewriter?
Mr. Cole. The lighter impression.
