[CAUT] Friday puzzler: Won't play on hard blow

[reggaepass at aol.com]

... and the prize goes to both Gordon Large and Ed Foote (on the CAUT list) who, within minutes of each other, came up with the right answer: The capstan is moving out from under the wippen heel.  In this case, it is the displaced wippen that is contacting the adjacent wippen, causing its hammer to nudge.


Thanks to all who contributed to this thread.

 Is the capstan moving out from under the whippen and hitting the adjacent one?
