Ok, Here's a photo I took before starting work on the piano and dismantling
it to pieces.
For those who didn't follow the discussion, this is an approx. 1860 Pleyel
upright, oblique strung, with no iron frame, just metal struts and a partial
hitchpin plate (pictures of it can be seen on my website).
Now to the action:
It has brass rails which hold the hammers and the wippens. The escapement is
achieved by the jack sliding on a board with screws, all covered by a long
piece of leather with slits. This leather is black in the attached picture.

If there's interest, I can go and take some more pictures of the separate
parts, so you can see them better.
