Change:
The article stated:
- "In the German army under the Nazi reign,"
which I changed to:
- "In the German army under the National Socialist regime,"
since it didn't seem to be the proper phrasing to fit as a encyclopaedic entry. --Carrac 21:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Use of 'Escutcheon' in electronics industry
While working for a telecommunications company, the term Escutcheon was used to describe the self-adhesive labels that were applied to two-way radio housings, prior to positioning of the control knobs. The dials for these knobs were printed on the labels (e.g. volume scale and channel number). The labels had holes corresponding to the shafts of the potentiometers and rotary switches to which the knobs were affixed. I presume therefore that an Escutcheon can be the label used on any instrumentation panel, on which the necessary markings for dials and knobs are printed.

[edit] Image Request
Requested an image to illustrate what shape an Escutcheon is. Although, would I be correct in saying that the image from the template above, Image:PB Scrope CoA.png, is an Escutcheon? --Aqua 22:25, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pronunciation
How is "escutcheon" pronounced? Could someone please put the pronunciation in the article with IPA? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.214.134.233 (talk) 22:22, 26 January 2007 (UTC).
