[ARC5] Pantograph machine?

[J. Forster]

Robert,

If you look at the image, enlarged, the machine is definitely engraving
radial lines and some numbers near the periphery of the aluminum
'mushroom'.
Look directly in the stylos area, below and near the engraved "TAYLOR" on
the machine.

YMMV,

-John
