From the Contact form:

I am working on a play and have a question for a scene set in 1937: a reporter is writing a story in manuscript and hands it to his editor. He’s working on a manual typewriter. But what does the paper look like? Is it 8×11 or legal sized? Is it newsprint or something else? Or did it vary enough from paper to paper that it doesn’t matter? If you can refer me to a source—much appreciated!
