As these type of actions = do not have escapement, per se, there is very fine balance between = blocking on the string(s) and virtually nothing.<G> The early pianos = were all "experimental", so each has it's own way of achieving some = semblance of "touch". That's the best I can tell you. Of course, proceed = with caution, always. FYI, most pianos of this period, had a very shallow dip, compared to = what we see in modern pianos. The Faust Pocket Companion says "two = eighths of an inch", (i.e. 1/4"). The early Chickerings used this = dimension. To sum up, try for consistancy and leave it at that.
