David,
Here it is.

Position the Becket Tool differently along the hole according to the 
section of the piano. Treble wire is measured from the center while 
the Bass is measured from the back due to the slack/stretch of the 
longer wire in order to maintain consistent becket placement. Measure 
other sections incrementally, as illustrated above.

The rear 'square' section is used for pin height.  The pen mark and 
notch at the other end is for indexing pin already installed.
Two of the photos were taken before the pen/notch upgrade.
