---------------------- multipart/mixed attachment Hi, Al Jon just sent me the side view of the Browne action, thumbtack and all. It helped my fuzzy memory a lot! The rail I adjusted is the L-shaped one just below the hammer rail, with the fat piece of fabric on it. Here it is -- not too big a file, I hope it can just go through. One could almost draw an action diagram just from a print of the photo.
