Any scanners and computers w/OCR software that you have access to?  Or perhaps it could be converted to a pdf file.  How?  I personally have no idea, but it should be possible.  Just trying to save you some unnecessary work.

  Jeff-
  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.

    (Off list)
    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. 

    Jeff

      If you copied it, could you post it or fax it to me? Fax # is the same as my office #.

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

      Jeff,

      It does...well, at least I found it in the wee-small, but it does not appear to have a searchable archive.  If someone does find such a thing, please do post it.

      Thanks very much.

      Horace
