Terry asked: " How can you =3D
determine that? If the rib is curved, could it still not be from panel =
=3D
compression? You may well be correct, but I just don't see how one could =

be so sure.

Terry,
It's simple. Use a straight edge. If the rib "face" is curved and the =
"spine" is straight, then the rib has a machined "crown". With an olde =
piano, the "spine" may be curved the other way. Still a machined-in =
crown.<G>=20
