If you were called upon to do a fine regulation of existing dampers, would you first pull the tray and install capstans? Well, would anyone else, other than you? All I said was that, as I interpreted John's comments, one of his points was that people did develop the skills to do fine regulating with the 'archaic' system. As to whether there are, in fact, any advantages to that system, I'll forego comment until I've given it more thought, or someone like yourself suggests some, but, just to refresh my memory: what, again, are the regulating procedures that are supplanted by the presence of these capstans? Certainly, all the work leading up to this phase remains unchanged.
