I bought a small bench-top engraving machine and tried my hand at engraving the index and reference plates. I should have practised more, especially as engraving on a curve is not at all easy. In the end, I was so dissatisfied with the result, I re-made the reference plate and, until I am more proficient with the engraver, I made up a stick-on transfer for the graduations. Space is so tight that I only marked every 30° spacing.
