	Autopen - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The first autopens were used during the late 19th century.
		Harry Truman is believed to have been the first United States President to use the autopen as a way of responding to mail.
		This was due in large part to the fact that most superstars receive a very large volume of letters each day from their fans, therefore, it could become impossible for them to send personally written autographs through the mail to those admirers that write to them.

	Autographs: Authentic or not? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		Autopen signatures are machine generated using a pattern created by the person who's signature it will duplicate.
		If you run across a known autopen you can safely bet that any duplicate letter or photo is also an autopen as these machines can produce signatures by the thousands as long as someone keeps feeding it photos or paper, but this is also the key to identifing autopens.
		Autopen signatures are of a constant pressure and will tend to leave extra ink where they start writing and where they stop writing as seen in this photo.

	Astronaut Autographed Collectible Pointers
		Autopen machines are similar to pantographs, where a metal "matrix" is manufactured from an actual signature, then tracked, while a pen, pencil, sharpie or other writing instrument transfers the tracked signature matrix to paper or photo.
		Autopen machines are generally made for small documents, such as 8x10 photos, or letters.
		Indeed, autopens will often show a wider spot, or "dot" at the beginning and end of the signature, where the pen was placed on the paper, and where it stopped and was lifted off the paper.

		Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy and of course Ronald Reagan have used it - the Autopen - a machine which signs an autograph in the celebrity's handwriting.
		The autopen can be thought of as a special-purpose plotter; the analog program, the matrix, was a metal trace of the signature, probably separating the strokes into individual traces beginning from the same base point.
		I've seen autopens used in the military by 4-star generals (or, to be precise, their secretaries and executive aides), who must affix their signature to many, many things.

		Not just any old letter mind you, but a thank you note from President Ronald Reagan thanking me for the get well card I had sent him when he was shot.

		After all, it's not like Rumsfield is going to sit down and write every letter, look up the details of the serviceman's death, and ruminate on how best to phrase his condolences.
		This brouhaha over the autopen is just another example of how the trivial is made important when it comes to politics.
		Rumsfield would not be any more effective as a SecDef if he had signed the letters personally; in fact he'd probably have been worse since he would have had less time to do what is truly important and that is run the Department of Defense very ably.
