I've recently acquired an old but rarely used Weems & Plath navigational proportional divider for my modest collection of navigational devices. The scales are lightly engraved and in some areas the black substance (pigment + filler) has been lost. I hope some of you may suggest a suitable restoration material and hints regarding the best restoration method to use. In advance, thanks for all help. Frank J. Rochester, NY
