Pivoting hammer rest rail?

[Cy Shuster]

Sorry...  I meant to say the una corda shifts the action, but I don't know 
if it also lifts the hammer rest rail (moving the hammers towards the 
strings).

Say, aren't grand hammershanks not supposed to touch the rest rail, anyway? 
(About a shank's diameter above?)
