1) i doubt pog used " silver" in his frames.
2) in brazing rods, silver is an ingredient; it's not "the"
rod. at witcomb usa we used nickel-silver and the
owner wanted us to add little phrases like "silver
brazed" to the catalogs. it was all very innocent.
nickel-silver might as well be brass.
3) dale was right about the range of percentages in
the many alloyed rods available to industry. each has
its own application and mechanical properties. don't
be drawn-in to the term "silver-brazed" if its used as
a tag line.
