Thanks Michael.  You're correct of course.  When I typed my original 
posting I couldn't find a computer keyboard code for the combined A and 
E character.  I will carefully re-check everything before I apply ink, 
you can be sure!  I have considered possibly some of the more humorous 
parodies of Latin mottoes that have been suggested here in years past.  
But this instrument will hopefully have a long life and I fear such 
jokes may be tiring after a time, so I'll probably keep with something 
traditional.
