A Unique Engraving System

Scriptograf Engraving & Marking Machine Co offers a unique Engraving System.

 

Engraving is obtained by copying from a template or model. The template can be letters from the alphabet or a particular design. For engraving the letters, these are sets of separate letters allowing the composition of the desired text, in different styles and heights of characters. These individual letters are fitted in copy holding slides. It is only necessary to follow the groove in the characters, using a stylus to obtain the exact reproduction on the place or object being engraved. The engraving can be reduced from the template in the chosen ratio which has to be adjusted on the pantograph.

 

Pantograph

 

The pantograph is provided with a variable ratio adjustment. Scales are provided on the pantograph for adjusting the desired ratio which will always be a reduction from the template or character. Area covered by the pantograph will be dependent on the model of the machine.
