[CAUT] F..riction

[McCoy, Alan]

Fred,

By "pinning those reps heavy" do you mean tighter pinning? Can you put a number on it, as in what do you aim for in pinning rep levers? I know that some go for pinning reps at about 8g, but on nearly every new set of wips I've encountered the reps are pinned in the 0-1g range, at least when I get them. I don't know what the manufacturer aims for.

Thanks.

Alan

Certainly pinning those reps heavy makes it easy from the technician's point of view, to set springs so the hammer rises nicely in our artificial emulation. And I have found situations where heavier pinning was necessary to get the jack to re-set under the knuckle consistently.
