Nothing wrong here.


To me, the catalog illustration looks like two tubes joined by an internal coupler.
I remember the parallel wound BT-30 tubes. There was a visible lap seam running down
the length of the tube. The lap line could have been drawn down the tube from top to bottom.
No big deal, I just thought the drawing was interesting.
