A number of those dials are poorly made, however some

the trouble to do good metal work, why not use working
designs.
Exactly! The metalwork was mediocre, as one would
expect for that many assembled components for that price,
but it would cost no more to put the markings in the right
places! Aggravating. The saleslady sounded absolutely sure
when she said then dial was made correctly, but I would
only believe that if she had said she belonged to the
NASS or the BSS. I was just hoping...
