Thanks for the post. Could you (or anyone else) elaborate on the =
following statement "Not all Shanks are "traveled " straight up & down. =
Depending on the horizontal Hammer angle, the Shank may be "traveled" 1 =
or 2 degrees Left or Right." I was not aware of such a condition. =
Where/when does one encounter this? A particular manufacturer? Is this =
something that is sometimes done to otherwise correct an un-correctable =
action? Thanks for any clarification.

And thank you so much for your participation on this list, Mr. Snyder. =
Your wisdom and insight is so much appreciated by us less experienced =
ones. I have enjoyed your (and your son) classes at the conventions.
