This thingy about plate height being the determinant for capstan placement has been vaguely put up a few times in the past couple years and I have yet to get a finger on exactly how that works out. Just what, step by step proceedure do factories use to get from <<plate height>> (over keybed ?) to capstan placement ?

Detailed explanation would be reallllly appreciated. Goes to some of Stanwoods proceedures, some of Baldersins (and others) criticisms of those, and represents one of those "far to many" holes in my own knowledge.

Thanks
