<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm reconditioning a set of wippens, and have them
off the stack. As I was cleaning gunk out of the rep lever groove
and cleaning the spring tip, I looked under the lever, at the allignment of
the spring coil, and it occured to me that when the spring is snapped out of the
groove and over to the bass side of the lever, the coil can open
easily when you yank on the tip of the spring to make it stronger. Snap it
out to the treble side and it jams against the underside of the rep lever when
you pull. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It seems to me this would be a good policy - snap
the spring out to the bass side when adjusting spring tension. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I don't recall reading or being taught to do it
this way. Have I missed something, or am I imagining that something
insignificant really matters?</FONT></DIV>
