Warp or skew contents by bounding curve?

Building an old fashion ship lever, I’d like to warp/skew text to fit as shown. I assume this is possible in Rhino but I don’t know how. I know I can do it in Illustrator but I’m trying to limit my reliance on other software, I already export/import too often.

CageEdit seems like my best bet.

hi just use flow, explode the text before you flow it over a circle and you are good. it will warp the text accordingly to any curvature. cage edit is really far too fiddly and not precise for such matters.

made some quick test, the orientation is not correct but i am sure you will figure it out.
