The Mason & Hamlin uprights had a system called the "screw stringer" system
will sounds very close to what you are describing. Unusual, but stable
system.

 

Here are some pictures of the Brinsmead screw system on a 6'3" grand, which
they used for over 25 years concurrently with traditional wrestplanks on
both grands and uprights.  The expense must have been terrific.  Dale Erwin
has just restored one of these.  I haven't got round to mine yet.
