There used to be machine called a typewriter. It was a machine before computers (shocking I know) when you hit the return key it would return to the next line. If you "returned" twice it would be double spaced. The principle holds true for computers. Most word processing programs like MS Word have a setting for that.\n\nit looks like this.\n\nAhh fun with technology!!!

Please take the time to\nvote for the best answer\n\nThank You!!\n\ndo a Google serch for "TM9-1276" do put in the quotes, you will get quite a few hit\n\nArmy/Air Force manual TM9-1276 has 178 pages of vital information about the M1 Carbine and Models M1A1, M2 and M3. This handy 51/2 x 81/2" manual covers all aspects of inspection, cleaning, disassembly/assembly, repair and rebuilding. Fully illustrated. A must for the carbine owner.\n\nU.S. Carbine Cal. .30 M1, Tank Destroyer School Weapons Department, Camp Hood, Texas - This 30 page manual is probably one of the first "field manuals" ever put out on the M1 Carbine.  The manual covers the early "L" sight M1 Carbine, its characteristics, disassembly, assembly, functions, immediate action, stoppages, care and cleaning, plus has diagrams and pictures reflecting disassembly, assembly and deployment of the rifle by (apparently) tank crews.  There is no date on the publication, but it seems fairly obvious that this is an early WWII equivalent of a field manual on the M1 Carbine.  "Click" HERE to see a sample of Page 8 of the manual.  The paper is 24# bright white (102+) with the book being plastic wire bound.  This book can be placed on the shelf in your workshop for easy reference.  The book also opens and lays flat, so you can work on your rifle and observe your manual simultaneously.

C. L. Sholes, who put together the prototypes of the first commercial typewriter in a Milwaukee machine shop back in the 1860's\n\nWhen Sholes built his first model in 1868, the keys were arranged alphabetically in two rows. At the time, Milwaukee was a backwoods town. The crude machine shop tools available there could hardly produce a finely-honed instrument that worked with precision. Yes, the first typewriter was sluggish. Yes, it did clash and jam when someone tried to type with it. But Sholes was able to figure out a way around the problem simply by rearranging the letters. Looking inside his early machine, we can see how he did it.\n\nThe keyboard arrangement was considered important enough to be included on Sholes' patent granted in 1878
