glide bolts

[Porritt, David]

I frankly thought it was a good idea.  A non-destructive way to adjust
the front rail.  No removing material to fit the rail that you want back
next season.

I've seen some of these apparantly Chickering thought so. At the time
Aolien was building them for Chickering supposedly to Chickering specs.
My suspicion is they weren't as much a necessity as something different
for Chickering to use for sales.

Hi list,

Worked on a 70's era Chickering grand the other day, with glide bolts in
the keybed at the front part of the bed. It also had glides in the usual
spots in the keyframe. Is this a necessity?
