[pianotech] Curiously curvaceous repetition lever

[Terry Farrell]

I'm trying to understand how escapement occurs with this wippen. It appears that the top of the rep lever hits the drop screw, pushing the rep lever down, which in turn trips the jack with the letoff button on the spoon (attached to the jack) - is that correct?

Interesting for sure.  Where were Schroter's made?  Thanks for sharing.
