Being a city kid, I haven't had the opportunity to look into the mouths of 
many hens... but maybe four or five times in my seventeen years of looking 
into the mouths (or other parts) of too many old uprights I remember noticing 
there was more than one way to leave the action brackets sitting on the 
posts.  Not necessarily only on the big old uprights... I recall a couple 
consoles too.
