They made the rod screws in such a way on Imperials and 1010s that any knocks or falls weren't instantly disastrous on the mechanism by leaving 15mm or so of both ends of the rods the full diameter and machined down the rest (in betweeen) by up to 1mm narrower.
To be honest, if they left the rods the same diameter along their length and fitted the keys well, then they'd work fine and are much easier to straighten as the key tube won't narrow where the bend or knock is which will make extracting the screw a pain.
While rummaging around in the woodwind scraps drawers in RM band Portsmouth's workshop I found some players in the past also had Selmer CTs as there were various joints (both Bb and A) with most keys missing (and other bits scavenged from them) and a couple of cracked CT bells.
Whereas nowadays the R13 and R13 Greenline are the mainstay of RM band musicians, there are some with R13 Prestiges and Howarth S2 and S3 clarinets.
