I posted that question a few years ago. Joe Garrett was kind enough to
answer. This is from his post:

I have an olde Kimball Service Manual from the 40's/50's. It has a
clear picture of how to align the knuckles to the jacks. There is a =
vertical
part to the shank that goes to a point and then horizontal towards the
hammer. The jack top, at mid point, should intersect that "vertical" =
line.
It works the same on the Brambach! As I stated before, I have one and I
find, that when the jack has moved slightly too far towards the hammer, =
the
touch gets real nasty. Adjust the jack to that midpoint line and all's =
well
again! Essentially, it's the same alignment as a regular =
knuckle/rosewood
except, rather than having one side or the other, of the vertical jack =
align
with the vertical alignment point, the middle of the jack top must align
with that line.

I am regulating an old Kimball grand and it has Brambach-style knuckles. =
 I
don't know exactly where to position the jack under one of these.  Can
someone enlighten me on this?

Thanks
