[R-390] 390A Drawings, was Engraved front panels

[Don Reaves W5OR]

So what kind of machine was used to do engravings?  I'm 
familiar with the badge engravers used at conventions and 
'fests to engrave names in plastic.  Is that what Tom means 
by 'rotary tool'?  How much set up time and expense would it 
be to take a silk screened panel and engrave it?  Lets hear 
from you machinists.
