my loose screw

[Joe And Penny Goss]

Hi Those who have answered,
None of you have given the exact answer,
While close, no "tipperillo"  <G>
The exact answer is
Under the rear side of the cheek block and in just over halfway or a little more.
The screw can be adjusted so that the fall board does not jamb.  This will raise the back of the block moving the rail away from the keys when the block screw is tightened. And if placed just off center towards the keys, makes the block hug the side of the case.

  Hi, Joe:
      Slide rule?  Man, do I ever!  I went thru all the math necessary for a degree in Engineering using a slide rule.  Slide Rules!  The most reliable mathematical invention ever devised.  No batteries, nuthin'.  How many engineering marvels of modern times were created with them?  Interesting...  
      Well, I'd have to agree with Cy.  I just did one like this last week.  Worked fine.  Now, how to hide the screw head... Ideas?
      BTW, those imbedded metal keyslips are made so you can bend them and they will stay put.  Easy to remedy the sticking keys rubbing the keyslip.

    I've got a brand-new Stanwood circular rule that I used last week!  And my bamboo decilog rule is in one of these boxes, right here...

    Did you put it into the treble cheek block, either between its vertical face and the keyslip, or (gasp!) between its bottom and the keybed?

      Hi Paul,
      Do you remember the last time you saw or used a slide rule <g>
      Sozits piano related,
      Fixed a twisted key front board/rail the other day with only a little screw.
      10 or 15 year old grand with the metal bar supporting the wood: sozit wont warp, right?
      Dowels that hold it in place were loose in the holes.
      Tried the screw in several places before I found the best spot.
      Did not put the screw in the action tray front as that binds the action when the action is shifted.
      The G 7 through C8 were binding when the cheek blocks were tightened.
      Now they dont <G>
      Where did I finally place the screw?
