Michelson's extra periods
The period after "Albert" in the author's name is quite clearly printed,with a slight scoop looking much like the period after the middle initial "A." Although it is stylistically inappropriate, I am confident that Michelson wrote a period there, and it is not a stray mark. Similarly, he has periods at the ends of titles (on the outer cover as well as this page), at the end of "Navy", and after each page number in the upper right corner of each page. His commas have very clear descenders, but he sometimes places a period where a comma belongs, or neglects capitalization after a period ending a sentence. --Mike O&#39;D 04:48, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
