Close up shows the small hole where some impurity melted out of the shell surface and ran out as a drip of green glass. Also note glaze welded collar Fred devised to strengthen the joint where the top shell cements to the center shell. M-2795's proved weak at this point and failed on side strain loads. This was Fred's answer.
