I used to think they were all stamped myself (before the Fowler rigs),
but recently when I was going through a manual for a Collins mixing
console it specifically refers to the engraved labels. Stamping sure
would be a lot faster, but maybe engraving produces a cleaner letter or
less distortion to the metal? This has to be related to the
Bristo/Bristol wrench issue....
