<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 975218, member: 26302&quot;]The last I read about it was: </p><p>1. That the flans had these on them to make the correct weight adjustments or</p><p>2. These are pincer marks to hold the hot flan before striking. This was since the flans are so large they had to be heated to strike properly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Either way they are on the flans before striking.</p><p><br /></p><p>Not sure which is the currently accepted response. I do not know why both reasons coulnd&#039;t be justified. I do know they appear on smaller examples too, (I have AE12&#039;s with them on the flan), so not sure if that helps decide it. Maybe Doug has the latest and greatest thoughts on the subject.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
