A pair of capstans / heels at two different distances from the fulcrum will indeed change the input force required to move the whippen at the front of the key. Try putting a very strong spring under the whippen on key 15 mm front of the capstan. > The changing gap of the magnet just changes the distribution of the > load between the two capstans. > Bob It does indeed change the load between the two capstans. Its exactly because of this that the leverage changes. Try it. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
