What does MFG stand for? ManuFacturinG? If so, that's almost as bad abbreviating ToWnshiP*.

Didn't know Williamsport had an empire, but theyblook like fine instruments!





*. not that i should condone it, but i totally get just getting making do with the the right starting and ending notes on a fast run, so after a moment's thought, of course it makes sense.
