[CAUT] large flat-head screws, was: Wandering Hammers

[Susan Kline]

I hadn't thought of that one, Fred. Emergencies happen --- it's good
to know that there's more than one way to get enough fasteners to
keep a lyre attached.

I'd of course try to come back and replace the keybed screws later
on, while realizing the extreme rarity of a "temporary repair" which
stays temporary.

Best,
Susan
