Each torpedo has two small holes. These are part of the original manufacture. These holes allow hot air to escape while being soldered. If not the air inside the torpedos would expand and cause the item to explode!!! Appretice goldsmtihs learn this lesson very quickly and tend not to make the same mistake twice.
