>Hi Philip, > >On your last picture one can see the little block the screw enters beneath >the >rib and the soundboad. With the panel resting on this little block this >setup is >not a real float but a float on a crutch of sorts, is it not? Yes. > Does the panel >here behave like a teeder-todder (spelling?). Beats me. I guess so. > >In conjunction with your other pictures, I can see that without this little >block the end of the panel would collapse in no time, given the amount of >bearing in that area and the fact that the bass bridge seems to extend well >beyond the line runing between the furthest points where the panel is >supported. Yes, given that the ribs are running in the direction they are I don't think the board would fare well without the little block. If the rib direction was more like the modern arrangement it might get by without it. >Thanks for the nice piccies. > >Peace, > >Jean-Jacques Granas >Warsaw You're welcome. Phil Ford
