I love it! Whereas Steinway allows access to the front of the two
rocker adjust screws, the back screw lies underneath rail I. I don't
suppose rachet offset screwdrivers existed back then. I can't
imaguine what else would get to that screw with the action in place.
Looks like the patent got applied for before anyone at the factory
discovered that you couldn't set a hammer line on this action.
