Searching For A Tool.

Hi,

For my Fokker G.1 cockpit project I am trying to find a tool to make the nameplates for switches and fuses. Attached a photo from a part of a genuine Fokker switchboard. It shows the nameplate and it seems they used a kind of dymo lable writer. Is there anyone of you who ever seen the tool they used to make such name plates?

Regards,

Mathieu.

Hi gents,

Thanks for the replies. I don;t think the text was cast into the switch. I have photos that shows other type of switches and fuse with the same kind of text/letters. But than the text is made in seperate pieces of metal/plastic which is fitted between the nut of the switch/fuse and panel.
Project is moving veery slowly, to many other projects on hand.

Regards,

Mathieu.

Mathieu, are you sure the letters aren’t just cast into the part? That looks possible from the photo, but perhaps the light is misleading? Best wishes for your project….
