Wasn't there some way to fingerprint typewriters as well based on yhe exact shape of the letter stencils? I vaguely remember something like that being an actual thing for solving crimes
Each letter in a typewriter isn't perfectly aligned and will be slightly higher or lower, this variation is distinctive to each typewriter.
So bend the keys afterward, got it thx
