The displayed model is based on the procedural 3D explorer, not a conversion of the SolidWorks original.

Based on published reconstructions by Freeth et al. (2014) and Price (1974). This is a research visualization, not a validated manufacturing model. Mechanically accurate tolerances and historical completeness are not claimed.
