>Hello List,

>At John White's recent UFO-Experience conference, Bob Wood and
>his son Ryan brought out a little known fact that could explain
>the pair of near-identical signatures of Truman which bear on
>the genuineness of the MJ-12 papers. In the Truman Library they
>located a photo of Truman in an earlier year, 1927, showing him
>using an "autopen" or "multiple machine." It consisted of 4 pens
>driven by a fifth master pen which the signer held, all attached
>to a long board of some sort upon which his secretary would have
>papers to sign all laid out. The 4 slave pens were linked
>through a mechanism (like a series of parallelograms I suppose)
>so that they'd reproduce the motions of the lowermost master
>pen. Each pen was separated horizontally from the others by
>several inches, to allow space for the different letters and
>memos. Thus, except for minor slop in the mechanical linkages,
>the other four signatures would be identical to the master
>signature except perhaps also in intensity of the ink trace.

>They learned that this multi-pen apparatus had followed Truman
>to the White House. So it's not at all implausible that during
>hectic periods of his presidency, Truman decided to save a few
>minutes of time by using the multi-pen. In fact, I think this is
>more plausible than that a clever hoaxster in everything else
>wouldn't know enough to be aware that no two signatures are
>supposed to be identical.

>A point I missed, and also because I've not read Stanton's book
>_Top Secret/Majic_, is the date of the two documents bearing the
>nearly identical signature. They need to be fairly close to the
>same date for this to be a valid explanation. Perhaps someone
>can fill me in on that.

>As time permits Bob and Ryan are interested in examining many
>other Truman signatures of the appropriate time period in case a
>third or fourth or even fifth of the same identical appearance
>can be found. And in case two or more identical Truman
>signatures different from this other one can be found, that
>would at least indicate that he had used the multi-pen apparatus
>while in
>office.

Jim,

If you take the tour of Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's house
near Charlottesville, Virginia, you will see one of those
gadgets owned by Jefferson and they will tell you that he
invented it.
