>Varying heights on knuckles will have the wippens at different rest heights. >Anything we can do to standardize parts and motion is a plus. A equal elevation and range of motion is what I'm talking about. Is it possible that Ed Foote's approach to an even after touch, by altering each hammer blow distance, a means to put the wippens' elevations on a more even keel and that it's the uneven knuckle height which causes the hammer line to be askew? Blow distance does not alter point of Let Off but knuckle height certainly does, so the L/O stays the same due to the geometry of that particular execution. Aside from any minor anomaly in KR, the knuckle size/height is the only variable. (Assuming even string height and hammer length). So it makes sense to me to detail this aspect of the action. I'd like to do it better but manufacturing procedures leave us with limited resources. Imagine the cost of a set of shanks if they also had to sort the sets? Which height range would you order? If I could only select my shanks at the source... -- Regards, Jon Page -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
