A half round is positioned so as to deflect the string= plane upwards... effectively insuring secure string contact with= the half round, which is clamped by the string tight against the= bridge. Bridge pins probably have to be threaded and screwed into the= wood of the bridge to keep them tight enough over the long= term. The position of the halfround is interesting, and I think can be= used much like Wapins middle bridge pin is used.
