   Oops. The Imagewriter's lack of 7 lines/inch prompted me to
   double-check. Elite is six lines per vertical inch on my typewriter and
   daisywheel, not seven. I.e. the line spacing is the same for Pica and
   Elite. Sorry 'bout that.

It certainly would be: Pica and Elite are measures of font size, not
baseline spacing.
