<DIV>If I'm understanding Ed correctly, the entire piano is lifted =
just</DIV>
<DIV>enough for the truck to clear under the legs, then after =
removing</DIV>
<DIV>the casters, the legs are let down one by one. The truck is =
already</DIV>
<DIV>positioned under each leg with just a little clearance, hence =
the</DIV>
<DIV>arms have nowhere to go except the bottom of the leg. At =
least</DIV>
<DIV>that's my take on it. Correct me if I'm wrong, Ed.</DIV>
