Nothing, though I'd probably not learn all that much from #88. At least not
as pressed in most hammer sets made today. Come to that--it would tell us
something, wouldn't it.

Of course it boils down to a lack of will. When sales are going great
there's no need--you'll buy our hammers regardless. When sales are down
there's no money to invest in things like that.
