If they aren't and you "space the reps to the shanks" (ie., put the levers dead under the knuckles) the heels may look pretty funny on the caps. And if they aren't sitting square on the caps, the caps will push them off to one side next winter when the flanges loosen up.</DIV> <DIV><BR class=khtml-block-placeholder></DIV> <DIV>Levers are made parallel the same way jacks are cradled.</DIV><BR> <DIV><SPAN class=Apple-style-span style="WORD-SPACING: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; WHITE-SPACE: normal; LETTER-SPACING: normal; BORDER-COLLAPSE: separate; border-spacing: 0px 0px; khtml-text-decorations-in-effect: none; apple-text-size-adjust: auto; orphans: 2; widows: 2"> <DIV>william ballard</DIV> <DIV><A href="mailto:wbps@vermontel.net">wbps@vermontel.net</A></DIV></SPAN></DIV> <DIV style="MIN-HEIGHT: 14px; MARGIN: 0px; FONT: 12px Helvetica"><BR></DIV> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">"Lydia thinks she knows everything, and Lyle thinks he owns the place"</DIV> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">    ...........The outgoing staff technician to the new guy, concerning the resident artiste/pianist and the Chief Custodian</DIV> <DIV style="MARGIN: 0px">+++++++++++++++++++++</DIV><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
