Now you've completely = lost me. Any possibility of some pictures?=20 In answer to my comment: "String spacing is by the holes on one side and = string speaking-length is terminated on the rim opposite." Sorry, I didn't have my camera with me. Maybe the choice of the term = "rim" was unfortunate. OK. Imagine now that these agraffes are made from = a strip of channelled brass. Individual agraffes are cut from this = material. Holes (three, two or one) are drilled through one "rim" or = "side" or "upright" of this cut off piece of channel. This is for string = spacing. The other "rim or "side" or "upright" is only as high as the = centre of the three spacer holes opposite it. This is where the speaking = length of the string "terminates". Of course the actual string continues = to the hitch in one direction and to the wrest pin in the other = direction. Each agraffe is held in place by a c/s brass wood screw, = there being a counter-sunk hole drilled through the base of the agraffe. = I know a picture is worth a thousand words, Phillip, but you've had to = put up with the words! :-) Regards Michael G.(UK) ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
