Gentles -

All due respect, take another look at the photo.  In fact, this one is not 
the one they made to check shank to molding dimension.  Rather this was 
designed to check the  molding / string angle with the hammer pulled up to 
contact string.  The folded-over part of the shorter length would sit on 
top of the string (Baldwin name would be upside down), and the longer 
length would be brought adjacent to the side of the subject hammer (which 
would have previously had a line drawn bisecting the molding).  The gauge 
would indicate whether the hammer is striking at 90 degrees or not.

Del - you must be too busy unpacking.  What an unenviable task!

Best to all.  Remember to use your ear plugs if you end up at the fireworks!
