glide bolts

[mccleskey112 at bellsouth.net]

Baldwin used frontrail glide bolts in the years prior to Gibson. I thought it was for production purposes. Less time in the factory, more profit.

  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?
