Claim 5
Dependent Claim
51 words
A method according to claim 1 including the steps of cooling said first region in said mold cavity after the step of injecting heated moldable material into the mold cavity and while continuing to cool said second region in said mold cavity, and thereafter separating the molded record from said cavity.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
