I took this pic underneath the Chickering yesterday. It was made in 1950 and is 5'1". As you can see the hinge part is still there but minus the missing lever. I forgot to measure the length of the arm which I will do today. Thanks. I saw the ones in the Schaff catalog but they do not give the dimensions.
