Okay after some research I determined that US Divers probably had a graphic artist to draw the letters by hand. This was a common practice back before the age of computer technology. I have been a professional photographer and a graphic design dabbler for almost 40 years and I have seen a lot of fonts (hand drawn and computer generated) over the years. I went through my extensive library of computer fonts (and I have a lot!) and I believe I found a pretty close match. It isn't perfect but extremely close. It is called "Gill Sans Ultra Bold Condensed" I have it linked in my fonts library within MS Word, MS Publisher and several other design and photo editing software packages I have. Anyway, I have redone the label with the new font, printed it, and fit it to the yoke knob to display it for everyone. I have the design ready for download as a Jpeg file, tif file, and a Photoshop file. The pictures show the yoke knob with the old label and with the new label placed on top of it.
