Rebuilding Metal Cone CRT's

"Unlike the 15G, the metal components on a 21AXP22 are a single layer of metal that has no metal to metal laminations that could leak."

Thanks! I had forgotten that the 21AXP22 had a metal "skirt" around the faceplate... I was thinking that it was an all glass panel back to the flange. I remember reading or hearing somewhere that RCA shipped carloads of these front and rear assemblies across the country (to Varian?) to be welded together... can anybody confirm that?
