[simpits-tech] Engraving font

[Fred Mahone]

Eddy,
         Of course, I will bring them in tomorrow. I was looking for the 
three specs for making transilluminated panels and found it. Unfortunately, 
I still did not find the other except if I buy a book with a bunch of 
standards for $900.00. I also located the standards for Federal colors.
