That's just the grands. The verticals (all?) have about a 
10-12mm cap - cross grain to the root, and used to compression 
crown the bridges. They didn't seem able to control the 
thickness of the components, so bridge height, thus bearing, 
could be anywhere.

Likewise, including whether Baldwin built it, or it's Korean.
