[CAUT] hammer line

A equal elevation and range of motion is what I'm talking about.

Is it possible that Ed Foote's approach to an even after touch, by altering
each hammer blow distance, a means to put the wippens' elevations on a
more even keel and that it's the uneven knuckle height which causes
the hammer line to be askew?  Blow distance does not alter point of
Let Off but knuckle height certainly does, so the L/O stays the same
due to the geometry of that particular execution.

Aside from any minor anomaly in KR, the knuckle size/height is the
only variable. (Assuming even string height and hammer length).

So it makes sense to me to detail this aspect of the action. I'd like
to do it better but manufacturing procedures leave us with limited
resources. Imagine the cost of a set of shanks if they also had to
sort the sets? Which height range would you order?  If I could only
select my shanks at the source...
