Does anyone know how lugs and fork crowns etc were pantographed back in the day? Were they cut or cast?
Bit of both,I think. Big manufacturers could afford to pay for custom moulds, smaller ones had them engraved. Technically, of course, using a pantograph would involve engraving. Pretty sure all the Roberts ones were machined not cast.
