Greetings, I have it on good authority,(B.Garlick), that the accelerated action patent covers not only the half-round, but also that all key weights be as close to the balance rail as possible. This was not actually followed by the factory for some time, so technically, they were not legit to call those actions "accelerated". Regards, Ed Foote
