Key MOI and FW data

[Mark Davidson]

Here are data for moment of inertia (in kg cm^2) and FW (in g) from a 1999
S&S "L" (factory lead).  Probably at most 3 digits of the MOI are of value.
These data are taken by direct measurement of MOI, not by estimating,
calculating, etc.

Also here is a graph of the MOIs:

You can see that black key MOIs are, in general, less than those for white
keys.

So I adjusted by multiplying the black MOIs by a constant so that black and
white MOIs have the same average.  This lets us see the variation a bit
better.  Here is that plotted with FWs (same scale - different units).  The
correlation is clear - if not 100%.
