Yep, or at least photos. John Dewey sent me a few shots of something similar he
had seen in an old upright, brand unknown. I had drawn up something like this
too, only simpler, a few years ago using a U channel with pressed in pins for
bearing bars. Never got around to making some and trying the idea out though.
