I think there is no catalog in English. You could ask Jahn, here is the contact website: http://www.pianoteile.com/html/frames/neukunden.html But an English version is not available on that site, so I guess there is no English catalog.

I'd like to see that in catalog in English.

Only where the bushing is in fairly good shape just loose from side to side. Using a utility knife, make a small cut in the wood next to the the bushing felt, using the back of the knife press some folded paper or thin card, paper punchings of various sizes work well, into the cut you made, doing this on both sides until it fits properly. Seal the cut with a little glue and you've saved your self a re-bushing job. Mike Michael Magness Magness Piano Service 608-786-4404 www.IFixPianos.com email mike at ifixpianos.com I don´t think that this is a good trick because it takes some time, too. How much time does it take for one key? Removing the old bushing with steam takes 1 or 2 minutes. Putting in new bushings is really quick when you have this nice tool: http://www.pianoteile.com/kataloge/pdf/Werkzeugkatalog.pdf Item No. 42.03.00 Just putting glue on the whole strip of felt, cutting it with that tool and putting in a clamp or a brick/chump/clump or whatever it is called in English and that´s it. If it has to be done quickly: just turn the front pin. When it becomes loose after a while just turn it the other way round. Okay, that´s not the very best method, but inserting a paper card isn´t as well.
