A wooden rod goes down through a metal non bushed hole in the plate... no more then about 3 mm diameter these rods... they end about 5 mm above the keytail felt ( Grin .... thats for Micheal ) and on top there are two felt cushions attached... one to keep the rod from falling through the hole... the other to cushion and meet the underside of these lifers you question about. So when you play the key, the keytail comes into contact with the bottom of the rod, with nearly immediatly pushes upwards on the lifter which in turn lifts the Dampers.... which themselves are spring actuated...despite the fact that they have the advantage of gravity. Very lightweight system. btw.. I will put up a few more tunes for you in a couple days... been really swamped lately...
