Wing & Son upright blueprints

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi,
No plans or prints but,
Hammer rest rail full
Hammer rest rail half
Sustain bass
Sustain all dampers
Apartment mute
Banjo mute
bell mute ( little tiny bells struck by the hammers just before the hammer
hits the string)
are ones that I have seen on Wingers
