Oops, I guess I could have found a better way to put it.

Steam number 1, take it off the set-up and place the key number 2 on, take 
out the bushing out of key number 1.  Pick up number 2 off the set-up, place 
number 3 on, remove the bushing from number 2, etc.

In other words, while you are removing the bushing, the next key is steaming 
and by the time you are done removing the bushing (and perhaps putting in a 
mortise sizing caul) the "steaming" key is ready to have its bushing 
removed.
