Hello Ron Overs
What an elegant design! I have been looking at your new Overs Action =
(patent pending) and comparing it with S&S and Langer. I find your jack =
spring very interesting - a form of single-winged - but it must be very =
strong to give the required hammer-rise: how thick is the brass wire for =
this? And your jack toe (tail) which should roll on the button and not =
rub. One thing I think is due for further thought (though I am sure you =
have considered every possibility!) is the access to the jack regulation =
screw. This type of through-the-let-off button is darned difficult to =
access. Room here for someone to invent a very thin flexible shanked =
slot-head tool... I can just about picture it... The angle of the =
capstan is also an excellent idea. It conforms to the radial movement of =
the lever (whippen) and presumably the lever bearing block is aeriated =
for strength and lightness. Are the rails of wood or extruded alloy? Are =
the action parts other than wood? Is there a third drawing which shows =
the action in the "drop" position - ready for repetition?=20
I wonder how your action compares to Signor Fazioli's - which I have =
never seen.
Yes. It's very elegant!
Herr Calin T must be very envious!
Kind regards
