Mister Rogers and Mr. McFeely demonstrate how a large typeface typewriter (6 or perhaps 4 CPI) works for typing out speeches.

The following were the available Olympia type sizes as listed in the 1964 NOMDA Blue Book:

• 10 pitch (2.6 m/m) pica
• 11 pitch (2.3 m/m) elite
• 12 pitch (2.1 m/m) elite
• 17 pitch (1.5 m/m, calculated)

Not in the NOMDA Blue Book, but found in the wild on a 1971 Olympia SG-3: - 6 pitch (4.2 m/m) with typeface: Basic Writing No. 67

6 pitch would be 4.2 m/m

I've heard of Olympia SG1s with 17 CPI typefaces and some seem to think that 20 CPI machines may exist.

CPI- I was not fully aware of the fact that Black people were able to make as much financial progress as they did, which only speaks to the fact that white people refused to accept that Black people could be successful and that they tried as hard as they could to stifle that success.
