[CAUT] Baldwin R (modified)

[David Denison]

I remember seeing some pianos from the first half of the 20th century using 
a similar idea.  The back of the flange has a narrow, vertical slot cut into 
it and, as I recall,  a center pin driven in to the hammer rail through the 
slot.  Perhaps it was Chickering?
