Talmud for Menachot 55:17
מקשה דסיפא למאי אתא למעוטי חצוצרות דתניא חצוצרות היו באים מן העשת מן הכסף עשאם מן הגרוטאות כשרים משאר מיני מתכות פסולים
so that this too is indispensable? - What is this that you say? It is well if you hold that if made out of scraps it is invalid and if out of other metal it is valid, for then the repetition of the terms 'gold' and 'beaten work' is made use of in the exposition [which follows].
Tractate Tzitzit
[The absence of one] of the four zizith invalidates the others, because all of them [constitute] a single religious observance. R. Ishmael says: They are four independent observances.
