Door wire mystery

We were working on the fuselage door for our Model Esp. The power wire for the spotlight came out of the back of the light and went into the door. We looked everywhere for the wire to emerge from the door to obtain its power. Not even a hole for a lost wire anywhere.

We removed the door panel to discover – one wire going to each metal hinge. Too funny! Clever way to power the light.

The guy that made the cockpit door was proud of his workmanship and provided his autograph on the inside of the wood door panel. Does anyone recognize his signature?

He also numbered the door. We guess that there was some hand fitting involved with the doors. The #274 perhaps was intended to go with Esp S/N 274, but our trainer is S/N 374. That may be one little mystery that we never figure out.
