Here's the "clarification" right there at the bottom of the same data sheet.

But then the instructions for setting bearing on the Acu-Just pins with the 
rocker gage in the "BALDWIN BEARING GAGE" booklet say 0.015"-0.035" 
(0.85°-1.9°) in the bass, 0.0.015-0.025 (0.85°-1.4°) in the low tenor, 
0.005"-0.015" (0.28°-0.85°) in the mid tenor, 0.01:=0.02" (0.057°-1.13°) in 
the low treble, and 0.02"-0.04" (1.13°-2.26°) in the upper treble.

All of which except the lower half of the mid tenor range, I would consider 
too high for these boards.

So we have two official sets of information, both from the manufacturer, 
that contradict each other.


First time that's happened.
