Those 12 steps,,are for a mass produced and a one off ring. They could have used a 'Tree' bit still the steps had to be done!... and check what still had to be done after this tree was made!!
My 2nd photo of mold/wax ring... First you had to have a model. Sometimes plaster, sometimes metal.. You make the mold first from vulcanization. Then cut it in half.. The wax gets poured in and you end up with this photo . But it just the beginning!!! Can you imagine a few 1000 HRs made like this!
Remember,,no mater how special the HR was,,it was a mass produced piece.. We are missing something guys! Maybe the HR is multi piece, multi method [?]
