Eight cones were produced with a method called metal spinning. These cones contain one verticalPessure Test Results of the Toledo Metal Spinning Cones
weld seam, and one cirumferential (and angled) weld near the tip of the cone. These cones are also
slightly thicker than the SNL cone. Because of the manufacturing process, the appearance of these
cones are much more uniform than the SNL cone.
