As I went to write a note that the wireframe was wrong, I found myself in disagreement (with myself). I think the wireframe is right and the rendering/sphere is wrong. If r1=50; r2=25; and |H|=1; I'd expect two fused half-spheres of radius 50 and 25 with a 1 unit "steep" transition where they fuse. Cheers!
