[Boatanchors] Duplicating an S meter scale

[Keith Densmore]

Specify acid free copy paper. That is the variety that will not yellow with 
age. If you want something a bit heavier ask for acid free offset paper 70 
or 80 lb.
 BTW, No. 1 bond paper is also archival quality but probably too textured 
for a meter face. You see it used extensively on awards and certificates. 
Can be identified by the watermark in the paper.
