I work for a manufacturer with part catalogues going back to 1921, and while the telegraph codes no longer work, you could absolutely still order up a given part, or request from us the engineering diagram for it to aid in fabricating a replacement. You can also request service manuals, wiring diagrams, etc. Don't all half-decent manufacturers do this?

Now I wish you'd tell us what the company is so if I ever need anything in that industry, I'd know where to buy from.

Yes they do, but half decent manufacturers are extremely rare.

No. That is phenomenally uncommon. To the point it's almost unheard of.
