OK, thanks to you and Ian...I was thinking too hard.
I suppose though originally they were drop forged and tapered in the process then bent in a press? When I watch my chum next door to me drawing out a forging in the power hammer, it never ceases to amaze me just what can be done, imagine being in the drop forge shop in a steam locomotive works and with no ear defenders! Sometimes, I'm a hammer man in the forge with a sledge hammer...earns me a pint!
