Yet the reason = they became defunct was due to insufficient R&D on the modern materials = they used at that time. One manufacturer in the UK (Bentley) started = using plastic flanges - now, some 40 years on, those flanges are = breaking and due to the slot between the ears being so narrow they are = not easily replaced with standard wooden flanges. Now, of course, we = have the main action rails of extruded aluminum (and what a pain they = are to replace an action screw in so the threads don't cross!) plastic = buttons and jacks. And so it will go on I dare say.
