Unusual action

[DGPEAKE]

Dear Friends and Collegues,

Yesterday I serviced a Everett Console made in 1948.  I have seen a lot of
strange actions, but this one was definately somewhat backwards.  Or should I
say, parts arranged in a different fashion.

The hammer tail did the checking, with the backchecks higher than usual to do
the catching.  The jack was horizontal rather than vertical.  Capstans had a
regulating screw.  It does not appear to be difficult to regulate (and it
needs regulation).  The hardest adjustment was at the hammer spring.  Very
difficult to get to, even with a hemostat.

My first observation is that it may be a Woods and Brooks action.  Any clues
out there in cyberspace?
