When a lyre breaks it from rolling it breaks towards the leg that ends  
up on top.  Running a brace down to the lyre and firming it up  
prevents that (moved a piano that previously broke its lyre this way  
without incident).  I am curious about the "T" thingy people use  
instead.

As to Godzilla, usually the for exerted is at right angles to the  
brace as installed.
