Flange Re-bushing

[Horace Greeley]

Gina, Terry, et al.

There was some attempt some time ago (don't remember which company)
to do this, but I don't recall that it was very successful.

On the other hand, I worked with Lane Miller (now in Louisiana, I believe),
who had developed a system of bushing much like what used to be used
at Kimball.  His method employed hand-preglued strips of bushing cloth,
pressed into place by a foot operated press operating a heated caul, then
trimmed while the heat was applied, and then "set" with heated brass
cauls for sizing.  Very accurate.  Very fast.  And, lasted a good deal longer
under _heavy_ institutional use than I would have thought.

Lane had been working on a patent for the press contraption, so I don't want
to give away his store.  On the other hand, if I were doing very many sets
of keybushings, I'd surely be in touch with him to see what progress he's
made...

Have a good weekend.

Best to all.

Horace
