All Links are soldered together. I personally don't like that method because
the can become very uneven.  Phil

I believe the two halves of Links were (don't know about now) sandcast,
and brazed or soldered.  Then machined to clean up.  That all makes for
a number of places where there are variables.  Must make it difficult to
make it consistent from sample to sample.
