Ancient Baldwin question

I restrung a Baldwin upright a few years ago.  It had an open face pinblock.  
In the bass section, up by the tuning pins, it had a pressure bar, and the 
strings then rode on top of a steel rod, which lay in a groove on a piece of 
wood.  Perhaps this is what she means.   I remember the other end being a 
regular setup of metal hitch pins in the plate.   The serial number was 
something around 1300.  The Baldwin website has a history section.  It says 
that they decided to manufacture pianos in 1890, and made their first piano a 
year later. 
FWIW, I drive by the old Baldwin factory here on a fairly regular basis.    I 
wish I could have been able to see them build pianos there.  It's an office 
building now.
