They were active in the awards industry and introduced the use of calligraphic tips, on computerized engraving systems, which imitated hand-engraved calligraphy on metal.<br /> <br /> They also had a correspondence course in hand engraving.<br /> <br /> I believe they were in Berkely Heights, NJ.<br /> <br /> I think they were also involved in the embryonic stages of Xenetech. <hr /><a name="a26_16"></a><p><b>From: AL (SUBLIAL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.16">#16</a>]<br /> 27 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.15">#15</a>] 27 Jan 2007</p> <p>Dave, Yes we lived one town apart and that is who had the laminator. we were competitors but they were mostly in the awards business and I was mostly in jewelry and silver awards.<br /> I engraved for 22 years by hand and so did Doug.<br /> Small world.<br /> AL La costa<br /> <a href="http://www.atttransfer.com">www.atttransfer.com</a><br /> 1-866-900-2830</p> <hr /><a name="a26_17"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.17">#17</a>]<br /> 27 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: AL (SUBLIAL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.16">#16</a>] 27 Jan 2007</p> Al,<br /> <br /> Where are they now? As active and as innovative as they were in the A&E industry, they disappeared from sight almost overnight.<br /> <br /> Of course, overnight was at least a couple of decades ago. <hr /><a name="a26_18"></a><p><b>From: AL (SUBLIAL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.18">#18</a>]<br /> 27 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.17">#17</a>] 27 Jan 2007</p> <p>Dave, I haven,t seen them in 30 years.

I've just registered on this sight, a mate of mine Baz told me about it! I'm heading off next week to the States & I'll be at the ARA from the 20th Feb.<br /> Seeya there Glenn (Fordy)</p><hr /><a name="a26_21"></a><p><b>From: Stunt Engraver (DGL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.21">#21</a>]<br /> 28 Jan 2007<br /><b>To: Fordy (CENTRAL)</b> [<a href="lmessages.php?webtag=EE&msg=26.20">#20</a>] 29 Jan 2007</p> <p>Glenn,</p> <p>I've recently become a proponent of spinning the diamond gravers.</p> <p>Haven't tried it on everything, but find it works wonders on coated items, like some coated writing pens. It also makes a better cut for oxidizing trophy brass.</p> <p>I'm happy Baz told you about our forum. We're getting quite a few Aussies on board. Some are threatening to band together and come to next year's ARA Las Vegas show. :-)</p> <p>If you're in the mood to meet and party with some of the people of this forum, while in Vegas, take a moment to check out this thread:</p> <p><a href="http://engravingetc.org/forum/index.php?webtag=EE&msg=5261.1">http://engravingetc.org/forum/index.php?webtag=EE&msg=5261.1</a></p> <p>A lot of posts there.
