washers. The loose washer allows a key being removed to push up the few =
washers at its location without disturbing other washers sitting on =
other keys. Right? Where do you lay the washer-rod? Seems like anywhere =
forward of the backcheck would be problematic - but then there isn't =
much room behind the backcheck....... Additional info would be =
