This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment =20 Well, I thought THIS was a little funny: "When the jack slips from underneath the Knuckle, the hammer is said to "escape" as it surges = upward suddenly and strikes the string." =20 I don't think the hammer does any "surging" or is suddenly traveling = upward. If anything, gravity and friction would slow it down a smidge (a very = small smidge, but a smidge nonetheless) after letoff. =20 This seemed weird, too: "Basically if the key is moved from a full = stroke the jack does the pushing but if the key is moved from a lower position = as in fast or very soft repetition, the balancier does the pushing. This = dual pushing of the hammer is called "Double Escapement."=20 =20 Not the definition of "double escapement" I've heard (kinda vague on = this, something to do with the jack tripping and the rep lever being stopped = by the drop screw, but not "pushing," surely). =20 Also, what's this about the balancier doing the pushing? The whole idea = of the thing is to get the jack back in place so IT can do the pushing, = yes? =20 Was explaining an out-of-place upright jack spring problem to a lady customer once and made a comment something like: "It's designed to get = the jack positioned under the butt." She replied: "Yeah, I need that some mornings." One of those moments that makes it all worthwhile. =20 Alan R. Barnard Salem, MO =20 Hi, I think it is intended for the general public. What parts do you find = "off"?
