Hi!

As a "PS" it's my aim to produce samples of the British Drawing Office lettering that adorned innumerable Engineering Drawings and Circuit Diagrams from the 1940s to the 1970s, with particular emphasis on the styles & sizes used by Thorn/BRC, (these were made with "Uno" Stencils made by A. West & Partners) but so far every attempt at producing these letters ended up with messy blobs of ink everywhere, even using "Uno" N.O.S. pens/nibs that have never been opened!

The Gill Sans is only a "stop-gap" till I can perfect my "Uno" letters and turn them into TTF fonts for PC use!
