NR4FL question

Post by Phownman64 »

In Vol. 37, #3, page 3245 third paragraph of the new R.E.N.E. there is mention of the different size NEWPORT rollmarks on the bottom of the barrel of the NR4FL. I was wondering if the NEWPORT rollmark in the attached photo would be considered the large font?

No that is the normal size, note how all the words are all the same. The word Newport will be larger than all the rest.
I'll try and post a picture.

That would be great. According to the paragraph quote " NEWPORT address with the bottom line of the rollmark in a noticeably larger font than the top line of the rollmark". I just wasn't sure if what I posted would be considered the larger font.

Here you go, 5th picture shows the difference.
Both the large and small font variations are very scarce.
