It was Herman MacNeil's first design for the SLQ.
The 1939 Doubled Monticello has a wide spread such that if you have to ask, then it is certainly machine doubling. Here is a photo of a Doubled...

I can't, I'm not done with her yet. Again, that was not the main theme of the article, not even close.
