KENNEDY ASSASSINATION RECORDS ACT OF 1992 DB Ma>o #6585 3 January 1964 lrMGtAD.'FOR: Chief, idE/2 ATTSIEIOi Nr. 8UDJECCT: Technical Analysis of Lotter and Envelope - DB CABS L361 RlE'REiCS: llW/2 Memo dated 13 December 1963 1. In responae to referenced request, an original typewritten letter and envelope addressed to the American Embassy, Stockholm, were examined in order to determine the origin of the letter and the nationality of the writer. 2. The following conclusions were drawn concerning the letter and envelope: a. The typewriter in question is equipped with an obsolete style of German-made type which, according to our references, was fitted on a nanober of typewriters made in Germany during the 1920a and early 1930x. The possible makes would be Stoewer, Toredo, Mercedes, Rheinmetall, Urania, Orga, Fortuna, Continental, Kappel, Ore n; Triucs ii, Merz and tossibly a: others. - Of thesa-akes, the Torpedo, Mercedes, Rheinmetall and Triumph were probably the most widely distributed. b. The machine in question is equipped with a black and red ribbon. The keyboard is very probably Swedish, as shown by two strike-over.: umlaut-u for hyphen and z for a. The e characters are adjacent on the standard Swedish keyboard, but not on the German. The umlaut-a was not used in the street address, Strandvagen (where the dots should have been placed over the second a). This might be either a simple oversight or an attempt to conceal the writer's familiarity with the correct spelling. c. The paper of the letter is of the international standard (DIR) size AZI which is almost universally used in Sweden. The linen-textured stationery seems to be rather coron in Sweden. The two analler pieces of blank paper match the letter paper with respect to width, thickness, color, texture and look-through, and were probably cut fram another sheet of the same type. The envelope matches specimens of 8vSdish envelopes taken from D®/5Postal. Intelligence files. -
