I meant something along the lines of a custom made item, verses a mass-produced item. But then again, you did clearly indicate that it was a "prototype", so I must not have been paying attention when I read that the first time. Mea culpa.<br /><br />And please show us the machine to which the lever belongs.

I like the style. <br /><br />It appears to have been prototyped on a 3D printer. Printing with colored ABS would make a lot of sense for durability and strength. The per unit cost should be low enough to allow stockpiling making the assumption that the widget will eventually wear out from wear against steel parts.<br /><br />Of course my guess could be totally off, but it doesn't look milled and prototype casting with anything but a composite would be really pricey. I can't wait to hear more about this part!Dwayne F.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07032059161503386028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-64956676727009187202012-07-16T06:14:35.955-07:002012-07-16T06:14:35.955-07:00Maybe one of those pinky tab levers on a Royal sta...Maybe one of those pinky tab levers on a Royal standard machine?deekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140131381076720375noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2120715572940256008.post-3848290844173614122012-07-16T01:37:10.309-07:002012-07-16T01:37:10.309-07:00Lever, correct.
