[Hallicrafters] Print / "point" size

[DW Holtman]

Bill,

I have found that there is no font in the free world that is the same as the 
font that Hallicrafters used for the word "hallicrafters" usually in green.

What I did is use Auto-cad and  reproduced the word "hallicrafters" one 
small segement at a time, by carefully measuring and transfering to 
Auto-cad. It is now very very close to the original and can be sized to fit 
the various receivers.

If anyone has Auto-cad and would like a copy let me know and I would be glad 
to e-mail the file.
