The Baldwin Piano Service Manual copyright
1967 states on page 3. "The spacing from the
wippen flange center to the hammer flange
center should be 4 7/16" for all Baldwin
Grands exceptt the Concert Grand, for which
it should be 4 31/64"."

The Baldwin Piano Service Manual copyright
1983 on page 3 "The spacing from the wippen
flange center to the hammer flange center
should be 4 27/64" for all Baldwin Grands
except the Concert Grand, for which it should
be 4 31/64"."

What do they mean by all Baldwin Grand?
Maybe it means all Baldwin made in 1967
should be 4 7/16 and in 1983 4 27/64.
Does any one have a Baldwin Service manual
for 1905.  The maximum spacing I get out of a
Baldwin C made in 1905 is 4 3/8".  What
should be the spacing for 1905 Baldwin C be?
