Here are the actual mechanical parts, including two guide pins
that center the heat sink on this assembly. The lens tube is machined with three
protruding bumps surrounding each end, undercut for elasticity, and will stay in
place during adjustment for focus and azimuth. The tubes are aluminum with a nickel
plating. The surface grooves are to secure the lens tube in place with injected
glue -- also known as "VOFIMA", or "volume filling material",
by those who will never use glue.
