[CAUT] Schwander balancier pinning

[Cramer, Mark]

Firm wippen-pinning allows rep-springs to kept within an optimal range, which is good "anti-lock-up" prevention, especially if lighter (than spec.) hammers are used.

We've been teaching 8-10 grams for rep lever pinning for a few years  now.  
It's 
s-l-o-w-l-y becoming the accepted "norm", though not soon enough for  me!

Mason & Hamlin  are also recommending a much tighter pinning 
here than is typically  accepted.
