<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 9433009, member: 31773"]The way to be sure about machine doubling versus die doubling is to determine whether the devices are <b>larger</b> (die doubling) than they should be, or <b>smaller</b> (machine doubling). In the case above, the high points of the devices are reduced in size versus normal. The die has hit against the devices and smashed them a bit, leaving a flat area on part of them, and a bit of raised area on the rest. This is classic machine doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p>For die doubling, the first hubbing makes a normal size device, while the second hubbing, since it offset from the first, makes the devices larger than normal. Some folks look for "notches" between the two device hubbings, but you don't always see these and they are not a requirement for attributing a doubled die.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
