I don't know if this helps the discussion or not :-) but in the '70's my
father brought home an electric typewriter someone was throwing out. They
junked it, it turned out, because it was a proportional-spaced typewriter,
makeing it quite impossible to backspace and fix anything. And it didn't
always work well -- it wasn't an IBM.

BUT -- it had a split space-bar. One side would give a single space, the
other side two spaces.
