[simpits-tech] font

[Fred Mahone]

Boy, who would have thought something as simple as a font would cause so 
much mail. I have done searches at font.com and they come up with the 
Gordon TT font as a near perfect match.

I am going to make a close observation at the lettering of panels in the 
helicopters on display at Charlotte. A lot of the after market
assemblies are back lighted and I would expect with the helicopter 
vibration, font readability is of great importance. I know Bell supplied 
engraved panels are MIL-SPEC but not sure about American Eurocopter.

While cleaning up (I am looking for land to build a new home) for a 
possible move, I have uncovered some items that might be of interest. One 
is a set of cd-roms on the A320 aircraft for Southwest Airlines (I think I 
got that all right). These came with some Bell Helicopter cd-roms. They are 
of no use to me, so they are up for grabs. Essentially, they are the 
manuals on rom.

I may be cleaning out some electronic components, I have not gotten that 
far into my basement. I know I have some mil-spec pilot lamp housings that 
take the 327 lamp and a pile of C&K miniature toggle switches, some locking 
type.
