@ChateauErin I think they would machine the cams the same way they would make other metal parts with a complex shape. E.g. using a milling machine and a template.

@kenshirriff thanks. I don't know why I didn't think of milling machine; part of me knew that they were plenty old. "and a template" was something I absolutely didn't consider except abstractly (I'd imagined something kind of pantograph-y) so this should hopefully be enough to send me down that rabbit hole
