Hi All
Does anyone know the font type for the air heater panel?
Thanks

Did they have font types in those days?

They look like block capitals.

If we're getting technical, is it the Font or the Typeface that the OP is looking for
A font is just a subset of typeface.
A font is the designation used for specific members of a typeface family.
A font is supposed to be of a specific size while a typeface doesn’t have to be.

So Arial is a Typeface.
While Arial Bold, Italic, 12 point would be a Font.

I very much doubt that anyone knows what was originally used.

Not having a 'control panel' I've no idea, but are the letters not cut into the panel?
I suppose it might be possible to photo a panel and there might be some 'Font Identification' app that could be used....?

It appears to be a variation on Gill Sans, a remarkably clear type introduced in the early 20th Century and quickly adopted by industry.
