I'm going to feel silly if this is a standard action feature, but it =
wouldn't be the first time... so I'll ask anyway.

I worked on the action of a 1923 Ellington grand last week.  The hammer =
rest rail was supported by brass rods at the action brackets, with felt =
bushings that allowed the rail to pivot upwards through roughly 90 =
degrees.  What's that for (besides making it easier to access the =
wippens)?
