|
|
| Inner liner and 'property of'. Looking carefully, the pattern on the inner liner happens to match one of the sample patterns shown in the Model 3-R roll engravers. Unknown if this is accidental or not | Various price sheets from 1930s |

| Cutter grinders brochure, 1930s. This is the first of a number of brochures with rather strange form factors. Multiple fonts and sizes were used, possibly by accident, as this had to be folded in an odd fashion, and the normal [presumed] borders at the edges are missing, to the point of the company logo being partially chopped off. This might have been a sample/proof brochure which was incompletely designed. | |

|
| Typewritten notes about the effort to engrave the Lord's prayer | Typewritten notes about the 3-D pantographs of the time (3-B and 3-L) Since they are not in brochure form, they presumably are copies of the content which went into a later brochure about the 3-D machines. |
