I guess I wasn't clear on what I meant on production. Methods like automated carrousels (Like seen in the video "Bicycle: A History of Invention") and some hearth brazing where the joint area is heated as one unit and the human's job is to put brass into the joint. Basically can a frame be fillet brazed by any other method than a human with a torch in one hand and a brazing rod in the other. Sorry about an confusion.
