Still, it seems so unnecessarily redundant when a check of the crush angle at a notch edge, like the photo I posted, shows such a much higher angle than any amount of functional downbearing could possibly produce. But then I suppose experimentation to disprove the impossible is as valuable as experimentation to discover or demonstrate the actual. >>To determine an affect, you need to detect a cause.

Overall height from bridge bottom to pin top less overall height from bridge bottom to bridge top.
