Figure 1. Original drawing of forgings that the Iraqi front company Industrial Project Company purchased from SMB Schmiedemeccanica S.A. in 1990. These forgings were to be machined into gas centrifuge components, probably top and bottom baffles, however all the forgings were confiscated in Frankfurt by German customs officials. For a picture of components made from similar forgings, click here. Drawing supplied by SMB.
