With the same part having up to six or seven names in some cases and at least two names in most cases there is no "real terminology". Manufacturers will call their thingees what they want to and we will need to adapt to their desires, until we can affect a change, or we won't get the correct part when we order it. :-) So I'm back to replacing the rollers...ehh the knuckles....uhh the round thingees under the shanks...eh shafts.....hmmmm the hammers sticks....you know the thingee the round thingee glues into?? :-) Jim Bryant (FL)
