    I do most of my travelling on the bench here, and use the brown packing
tape.  It helps to cut a variety of widths, since a very thin strip will give
far less travel than a wide one.  It doesn't take long before you can gauge
the width needed by the severity of the traveling. 
     The use of the sticky paper tape also helps a lot when simultaneously
traveling and spacing Steinway flanges , since it can be fitted into the
flange corners in a variety of configurations.

     That looks sorta like a troll, so what the hey,....(:)}}.  
      We should also add the variables of felt bushings, and the trueness of
the holes  bored in the flanges, as well as all the surfaces.  I think it more
likely that the pin is the most consistant component in the system.
