According to pg. 478 of TPS, William E. Avery headed Parker Brothers engraving fron 1877 to 1887 but there is no entry for any other individual as being a Parker Brothers engraving contractor during this period.
I think we must assume there were others though, as no one man could have engraved the many thousands of guns produced during this ten year prriod...
