So, I did an 11x17 = reduction to 8.5x11, and the crease problem wasn't as bad. I can read it fine, but = the print is fairly small and I don't know if it would fax clearly or not. = I would have done full size 11x17, but the copier in the library isn't capable = of it, and you can't take this book out of the library. Also, there are = two-page characteristics to the article (title spreads, action diagram, etc), = and it looks better in the reduced, or two page format. It'll take me = a while, but I could type the text for you. It is a rather long article. Or I = can play around with the copier machine to see what I can get it to = do. The article is very good with a few exceptions. I don't agree with a few = of his statements so far, particularly in regard to damper regulation. He = doesn't like the dampers to begin to lift before 1/2 hammer travel. He says = the extra weight makes the keys sluggish. I believe that if the damper contact = is that late in the key stroke it contributes to control problems due to the = extra bump in the key. It is particularly cumbersome if the damper contact = and escapement are back to back "obstacles" near the end of the key = stroke. I'd prefer it happen around the first 1/3. I can live with up to 1/2, but = not beyond that. Other than that, and perhaps another questionable = service tactic or so, it is a very useful article for the piano = owner. I'll see if I can get it to you soon in some legible form. = Jeff On Wednesday, March 3, 2004, at 01:53 PM, Phil Romano wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE><?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param = 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>Jeff,<?/smaller><?/color><?/fontfamily> &nbsp= ; <?fontfamily><?param Arial><?color><?param = 0000,0000,FFFF><?smaller>If you copied it, could you post it or fax it to me?
