Blanket condemnations--excuse me

[David ilvedson]

Hi Barrie,

It's much easier to deregulate a three note action model and 
more important it is consistant from test to test.  Each 
examinee works on the same model.  It also fits into the  
portability of the testing equipment.  Everything needed for the 
three sections of the test can fit a a few suitcases, except the 
upright action model and an old upright action we use for 
repairs.  Replacing a hammer shank, reshaping a few 
hammers, rebushing a flange etc.
