[pianotech] What do you call this kind of action?

It looks like a Spring and Loop action. Herrburger Brooks made them up 
until the 1960s. they tended to be fitted to "baby grand" pianos, 
probably for budget reasons.  They can be regulated, but they never feel 
good, in my experience.

Best regards,

David.
