Super stamper/Small space Dater

I used Œ and Jan. 4 as an example, because there are few figures I can use as an illustration on Halfbakery. I understand that some countries use 4/1 as Jan. 4, so for them maybe Ÿ (April 3 -- March 4 in USA) will describe more fittingly.   Those who work in paperless offices won't get this at all, but for the rest of us who scribble endlessly into Œ"^² boxes:

Some post-recovery subcontracting agency employee who walks around in a new administrative suit feels we overuse the ditto (") when filling text documentation sheets and seems willing to wait out the group's informal extension of time to comply period. What to do ... what to do? Without a labor saving invention, we're going to have an outbreak of writer's cramp (I think the proper legal term is 'carpal tunnel syndrome').

No we don't use stampers currently, but I wish we did. I have to sign my name and date hundreds of times a day and _can_ use a date stamp next to my signature (but doing so takes longer, and requires me to hang one from my wrist or wherever), but our checkoff sheets only provide a small square for [initials] and [month/day] boxes. By way of example, envision your IRS form Schedule D, whereupon the government asks you to list all your stock transactions for to record your change in capital for each transaction. Now envision that you're the account manager for a condominium full of day traders -- you'd want a proper date stamp, which is what I'm wanting.

I propose to devise an update-able, scalable, industry standard self-inking dater with diagonal capstan or wheel movement.
