Get a digital caliper & just check them out.  It gets between the =
strings easily & is fast, whether the numbers are there or not.  Mic. =
the wires on either side of the numbers if you're unsure  It really =
doesn't take that long, especially if you're taking the strings off =
anyway.  I'd rather be sure than depend on a stamp on the bridge.

  I can't see a problem, with determining the way the numbers go.
  Whichever number is on the end, start there and move on to the next =
number, then you change gauges.
  i.e. If 13 is at the right hand set of pins it starts there. You will =
find that when you get to the #19 or #20 it will be in from the first =
set of the thicker gauge. Conversely, if the #19 is at the first set of =
pins, on the left. (Mind you left and right can be reversed, if it is on =
a grand, or tilted.) Then obviously, you start your count from there.
  I have found no exceptions, to this.

    Ok, so maybe not common sense, but everything else about our culture =
puts us in the mindset of things naturally progressing from left to =
right.  When one sees a 15 stamped on the plate, for example, it is =
completely natural to be in the mindset that that unison and the wires =
to the right of that stamp are 15 and those to the left of that stamp =
are size 15 1/2 (or whatever the next size stamp reads), but that is not =
the case at all.
