Repetition Revisited

[Farrell]

Looks like good info here Roger, but can you clarify for us of so little
knowledge??? :-)

Roger Jolly responded:

"A rule of thumb for checking height."
(Do you mean backcheck installation height or hammer checking height?)

"A Jollyisum,  Divide the check length into thirds"
(The backcheck tall dimension?)

", with the hammer at the desired height"
(The desired hammer checking height?)

", the centre line of the shank should line up with the top one third point
of the check."
(Do you mean 1/3 of the way down from the top of the backcheck?)

"With the radius of the tail that I previously described it works every
time."

Sorry Roger for the nit picking, but I value your input greatly, this sounds
like good stuff, and I want to make sure I understand exactly what you are
describing. Thanks for caring and sharing.
