brass repair/ Journal article?

[Prof. Euphonious Thump]

     Nope. But there was some stuff about heating up
the rails and letting them cool ( oven, 450F I believe
) to re-amalgamate the crystallized brass, and make
them stronger. 
     And I'm in the midst of negotiating with the
machinist who made 75,000 plates for Steinway damper
levers, to make brass butt plates that fit WN&G
actions ( at least ) better than the Schaff ones.
