The Hershey font set was created and donated to the public domain by
Dr. Allen V. Hershey, a mathematical physicist at the U.S. Naval Weapons
Laboratory in Dahlgren Virginia.  I have an old publication on them
from the U.S. Department of Commerce/National Bureau of Standards.
It says "NBS Special Publication 424" and the number PB-251 845 also
appears at the upper right-hand corner of the cover, but I'm not
sure whose number that is.  The manual was reproduced by the National
Technical Information Service, U.S. Department of Commerce,
Springfield, VA. 22161

Library of Congress Catalog Card Number is 75-619219


Or if you don't like hunting down government agencies, you can order
it from the Austin Code Works (512)258-0785 BBS:(512)258-8831 or
acw!info@uunet.uu.net for $15.
