Hi, does anyone know when Bucks 110 started using a radius on the brass. Thanks George

George,
I keep hoping someone will answer your question but I can't quite figure out what it is you are looking for.
Is this a geometry question? I am not a Buck collector so I won't know the anser but I would like to understand the question better.

Ray, I think he's talking about the edges of the brass bolsters. If I'm wrong about this, I'm sure someone will correct me.
Older 110s with non-radiused sharp edges on the bolsters.
Newer 110 with radiused "softened" edges.

Your right Jerry I'm sure . They did that so it could be carried in your pocket with less wear on your paints. I don't now one person who carries a 110 in there pocket but that is the reason they give for it.
They started them in 1982. That was the first one's that are hand radius,or done by hand.
BTW-The squared off bolster versions came about, in the late 1970s to 1971 when they changed the way they machined the frames.
