Greetings, Inre Jon asking about moving the stack 3 mm distal, I wrote: > It seems that you would need a 2" hammer >>blow to use that much leverage Geomaster Stanwood writes: >It's the other way around..

I was assuming (which I shouldn't have been), that the capstan line would also move 3 mm distally to stay with the whippens. If THAT happened, for a given dip, the hammer is going to travel a lot more, no? Along with my unwarranted assumption, I suppose I should have said "increased travel" of the whippens.
