Yes, at least it clears up one mystery.

This summer, for several weeks I found slugs in my kitchen sink at night, and
couldn't figure where they came from.

Well, now the mystery is solved.  In the next room was an M & H A.  I had just
added assist spring wippens to this piano.

Maybe it is a good idea to have a sink nearby when we change action geometry.
What if the slugs had gone the other way, and found the little Knabe?

Need I say more....?
