Figure 2. Original drawing of a forging that the Iraqi front company Industrial Project Company purchased from SMB Schmiedemeccanica S.A. in 1990. This forging was to be machined into a gas centrifuge component, possibly a bottom cap of the rotor assembly, however all the forgings were confiscated in Frankfurt by German customs officials.
