[pianotech] crown and radius and load

[Gene Nelson]

In reference to the attached illisturation:
Assume the dimensions width and height at the center of the rib were used to 
help calculate - lets say a 60 pound load from string downbearing - throw in 
deflection as well.
If the bridge placement is shifted three or four divisions to the right of 
center - would these load supporting characteristics of the rib be altered? 
If so is it worth altering the W & H dimensions at the offset bridge 
location? Am I splitting hairs?
