bridle strap - was Re: 1902 Conover upright jack lever

[Mike McCoy]

Oh I agree Ron, if adjusted properly they do both. The current question
reads:

"The primary function of the bridle strap is:"

A)-To speed repetition
B)-To keep the jack from falling below the butt felt during action removal
and installation
C)-To improve aftertouch
D)-To pull the hammers back in place when the left pedal is released

The answer used to be B, now it is A.  It's not a big deal but those who
miss this question do raise a ruckas at times. I don't bring this up to
challenge the exam, I like it as it is, missed questions make people think.
