List:  I was servicing an older S&S "L" today and had to pull the action.
 About 1/2 of the shanks had knuckles that were felt ONLY - no buckskin. 
Did Steinway ever use that style of knuckle??  
If not where did they come from??
btw the all felt knuckles are quite a bit larger in diameter than the
ones with buckskin coverings and seem to have a lot more jack to knuckle
friction than the ones with buckskin.
