Because of the Kent Olsen Ken Hunter consistency in CDC documentation, Paul Koning experienced users could pick up an unfamiliar CDC manual and quickly locate needed information. CDC documentation appeared in A special thank you goes to the man who was one- and two-column formats depending upon responsible for the design of Control Data the subject matter. We have chosen to use the Corporation’s most successful large-scale two-column format since it looks better with computer, the CDC 6600 system. the many short paragraphs in the reference sections. Most CDC manuals of the time were set with section titles and headings in Linotype Helvetica and body text in Times Roman. Owing to licensing restrictions on the PDF-embedded use of these fonts, we have substituted Arial for Helvetica—the differences between Arial and Helvetica are subtle—and Times New Roman for Times Roman. Most body text in original CDC documentation was set with six percent letterspacing (like this instead of this), apparently because adding the letterspacing made it easier, if need be, to later compress the copy and add new material without changing the pagination.
