strike point

[Newton Hunt]

Strike point location is critical in the treble and should be done with the new
hammers and shanks.  If the old hammers are severaly worn the best location
will be inward because of the wear.  This could cause a mislocation of the new
hammers by an ever so little but enough to lose power.

When it is not possible to do this then position the new hammers to match the
old location be extending the old hammer felt to where it should be and match
the new to that.  Not difficult but it works, most of the time.
