Baldwin regulation

(Amplifying on Newton's explanation, and Roger's):

When shimming the backrail to fit the dags, shim on the __top__ of the rail - 
in other words, the contact surface.  Usually the routine is: scrape the 
surface heavily to remove lubricants and get to a fresh surface; then glue on 
maple veneer; then usually sand or scrape lightly to get a perfect (doesn't 
bind, doesn't rattle) fit.  Finally, relubricate; I prefer dry moly.  There's 
no change to the relationship between key-end felt and damper lever, and 
usually not much change to anything else in the regulating, except for 
stabilizing it all.
