Crushed damper stop rail

[Barbara Richmond]

Tom,

You are exactly right!  And I did put one in--at least I had my block of
hammer felt with me!   After I did what I could (for a system that really
needs to be rebuilt), there was that *one last adjustment* for that tiny bit
of bounce I could feel in the tenor section.   Everything was off because
the damper felts were too long.    snip...snip.....snip....

This was the first time I used Bill Spurlock's jig for damper regulation.
The *timing theory* of it didn't work, but once I set my samples it sure was
nice.
