Baldwin regulation

[Newton Hunt]

THe dags are very securely glued and screwed to the keybed.

This frame could not be forced to push the back rail up to the dags
without severely effecting the front rail.

Much easier to shim the back rail up .

Didn't seem to effect the damper timing at all.

Maybe it did, that was 20 years ago and I can't remember what I had
for breakfast yesterday.

Beside, the only time I had to do such time wasting efforts was during
the off season, july and august.  That was the time it got is annual
physical and regular.
