When I worked in the automotive steering column plant they stamped every steering column with the month day and shift. It was done with a pnuematic stamping machine. The letters and numbers were put into a jig with what shift and what day month was being stamped. You got a nice straight stamp. I find it hard to beleave they hand stamped the gear ratio. I would think everything would be lined up. Just my 2 cents. Good luck with your search.
