Well  Dale... if moving the knuckles is "appropriate" to this job, then 
by your  own admission leverage is not just leverage after all. 
  > well Ric if I need a slight leverage change to carry a heavier  hammer 
then I can determine if this less non difficult change of moving  knuckles will 
solve my "leverage problem" As opposed to the much more  difficult job 
changing  capstan location. Who missed the point?
 Both items are going to reduce blow distance, increase dip, reduce  friction 
& allow for more hammer weight to be carried which is the point of  the 
original post. I think . I'm so confused.
 I'm just trying to stay on that topic

The sum  
leverage created by the three levers can easily enough be over all the  
same in one perspective, while being different in another... and the  
resulting feel to the action, or dynamics of the touchweight will  
vary... so I have to stay with... leverage is not (just) leverage, and  
that it does matter where you decide to make a change... if you first  
feel the need.
  >huh?  This is very unclear, at least to me.



No offense taken Dale... but it seems like you missed the point  :)  IMHO
>> Really?
     Dale
