Since your off list was on list...many reference libraries have a =
special copier with a platen shaped like a high pitched roof for copying =
bound periodicals.  The book sits on it and does not need to be opened =
flat. Ask your reference librarian.

  Hey Phil,
  The copy is from a thick bound book (full year of the Clavier), and I =
found it difficult to get the type near the crease to be legible when =
copied full sized because of the way I had to hold the book. So, I did =
an 11x17 reduction to 8.5x11, and the crease problem wasn't as bad. I =
can read it fine, but the print is fairly small and I don't know if it =
would fax clearly or not. I would have done full size 11x17, but the =
copier in the library isn't capable of it, and you can't take this book =
out of the library. Also, there are two-page characteristics to the =
article (title spreads, action diagram, etc), and it looks better in the =
reduced, or two page format.

  It'll take me a while, but I could type the text for you. It is a =
rather long article. Or I can play around with the copier machine to see =
what I can get it to do.

  The article is very good with a few exceptions. I don't agree with a =
few of his statements so far, particularly in regard to damper =
regulation. He doesn't like the dampers to begin to lift before 1/2 =
hammer travel. He says the extra weight makes the keys sluggish. I =
believe that if the damper contact is that late in the key stroke it =
contributes to control problems due to the extra bump in the key. It is =
particularly cumbersome if the damper contact and escapement are back to =
back "obstacles" near the end of the key stroke. I'd prefer it happen =
around the first 1/3. I can live with up to 1/2, but not beyond that.

  Other than that, and perhaps another questionable service tactic or =
so, it is a very useful article for the piano owner.

  I'll see if I can get it to you soon in some legible form.=20

  Jeff

    If you copied it, could you post it or fax it to me? Fax # is the =

    I did just locate the article in the bound periodicals section of =
our music library.
