      Created in a type-matrix printer. Probably because the insurance company’s deal with the post office was closed in the 1980s, and the letter-making equipment is the same since then.

        Created in a type-matrix printer.

        Not quite the same thing as a dot matrix printer, but thinking about it just made me slightly nostalgic for fanfold paper anyway.

          I do miss being able to tear off the perforated pin feed holes

          I fondly remember ripping off the perforated sides (apparently called tractor feeds).

      Because apart from banks and governments, insurance companies have the most technical neglect possible.
