The General....General Motors, that is. All of the logos, graphics and scripts are produced by the art department. As such, all of them are trade marked and have copyright protection. If it was 'copied' after someone else's handwriting, that person could claim that he/she was the "author" of that script. No way the General would allow that!

I read somewhere that it was a style evolved through the Design Studio and was not based on actual handwriting. These days it would be CAD and done on a computer. Those days, renderings were done on paper.

Hmmm. I think speed nuts were on some (very early?) C3's but not all. I don't have my NCRS judging manual with me but have high confidence that by 1970 or so, the speed nuts were dropped. I could be wrong? Hopefully, someone else can confirm/correct me here and/or can provide timing for the speed nut elimination engineering change. My '72 has studs and tape - no speed nuts - per the NCRS Judging Guide.

Hi,
I'm thinking the same thing as rr72.
I took a look at the 68-69 and 70-72 NCRS Tech Manual and the info indicates that speed nuts weren't typically seen on the scripts' studs in those years.
I can vouch for none on my 71.
Regards,
Alan
