Mother goose string leveler

[Nichols]

We keep spec sheets on every tear-down, of course. Plate height, block 
height, and string heights, etc. With several notebooks full of this data, 
(about 1900 instruments), the apparent conclusion is that parallelism is 
coincidental. "Level" is an abstract, and as such can be used as a 
secondary point, but not as a base-line or initial point.

Guy
