In 1941, engineer Roy Schacht was working in a Chrysler plant and saw a fellow employee hand stamping an identification number on an auto part.

We had 2 or 3 here when I started as computer engravers were just catching on.<br /> <br /> We used to mainly use them for stamping aluminum trophy plates. They broke down frequently and the pressure was not always equal over the whole plate. If you didn't nudge a magnet tight enough to hold it in place, the spinning type wheel would grab the plate and send it flying not to mention what it could do to your fingers.<br /> <br /> It was faster than pantograph engraving but computer engravers are much faster and better looking so replaced it for most things.<br /> <br /> It had to physically stamp and spin the wheel so there was a limit to how fast you could go.<br /> There was no way to store or repeat lines so you had to type everything individually.<br /> <br /> The ones on the site are much improved I'm sure. Didn't know there was still any of them around or a market for it. Ours sat idle for years till we finally trashed them since we couldn't even give them away.<br /> . <hr /><a name="a4550_17"></a><p><b>From: JHayes55</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.17">#17</a>]<br /> 8 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: ALL</b></p> I would bet that Roy still has one - if his wife has not made him through it out! <span class="e_wink" title=";-)"><span class="e__">;-)</span> </span><hr /><a name="a4550_18"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.18">#18</a>]<br /> 8 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: BrianC (INKSQUIRTER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.13">#13</a>] 8 Aug 2006</p> <div class="quotetext" id="quote"><b>quote: </b></div><div class="quote"><font size="2">(excluding the gawdy suit)</font></div><br /> I resemble that . . . <span class="e_devil" title="(devil)"><span class="e__">(devil)</span> </span> <span class="e_tongue" title=":P"><span class="e__">:P</span> </span><br /> I had one like that....<br /> <br /> <b><i><font size="2">in lime green plaid</font></i></b><br /> . . . . . <br /> <br /> . and . ..<br /> .<br /> <br /> <i><font size="2"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_bottoms">bellbottoms</a></font></i><br /> .<br /> <br /> and<br /> <br /> <br /> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seer_sucker"><i><b><font size="3">seer sucker</font></b></i></a>.<br /> <br /> (but not worn with a grass skirt <span class="e_cry" title=":'-("><span class="e__">:'-(</span> </span><br /> <br /> <br /> .<p class="edit_text">EDITED: 9 Aug 2006 by LOGOJOHN</p> <hr /><a name="a4550_19"></a><p><b>From: BrianC (INKSQUIRTER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.19">#19</a>]<br /> 8 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.18">#18</a>] 8 Aug 2006</p> Certainly there must be a picture floating around that you could share with us? <hr /><a name="a4550_20"></a><p><b>From: logojohn</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.20">#20</a>]<br /> 8 Aug 2006<br /><b>To: BrianC (INKSQUIRTER)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.19">#19</a>] 8 Aug 2006</p> Luckily, Mr. Kodak was still in middle school.<br /> <br /> . <hr /><form accept-charset="utf-8" method="get" action="lmessages.php" target="_self"><input type="hidden" name="webtag" id="webtag" class="bhinputtext" value="EE" dir="ltr" /><input type="hidden" name="msg" id="msg" class="bhinputtext" value="4550.21" dir="ltr" /><input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit1" class="button" value="Keep reading…" /></form><p align="center">Show messages:  1-20  <a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=4550.21">21</a></p> <h4><a href="lthread_list.php?webtag=EE">Back to thread list</a> | <a href="llogout.php?webtag=EE">Login</a></h4> <h6>© 2024 <a href="http://www.beehiveforum.net/" target="_blank">Project Beehive Forum</a></h6> </body>
