coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 02/19/2019 4:50 pm Note the missing and weak letters? They were struck through a Grease Filled Die. The first to almost totally block, the 'E' not quite as much. So it was grease that was spread into the devices. Report this Post to the Staff
