My uncles owned a typewriter business back in the 70s and 80s (Brunson Business Machines). The reason for the double space was the typewriter's limitation. An extremely fast typist would cause the keys to stick together when using only one space. After the advent of the typewriter font ball, followed by word processors and then computers... the need for a double space was not necessary.
