You must admit that Campagnolo did an interesting thing with the verticals and the second tier road dropouts, the tooling did include some matched forming of the steel, as it shows on both sides and is not a sharp edge as found on the basic stamped dropouts seen so often, it is a neat bit of tooling.
The better builds with these I have seen include a washer brazed onto the inside (and axle way cut out) of the dropout to increase the thickness, when I first saw that on a Harry Quinn in 1974 I thought, what a good idea, but others did it too.
