Moving the wippen rail is only to align the centers. There is no leverage gain
as one might think by moving the rail back because the advantage you gain
in regards to the capstan is lost at the knuckle. Whereas moving the stack back
increases the input dimension without increasing the output thereby 
lowering the ratio.
