Alan,
<p>If you have no special reason for asking the question, then I conclude
the flanges have always worked just fine. If they work just fine,
then how are they poorly designed, and why the verbal lashing for their
designer? Somewhere the logic of this scenario fails me.
<p>I service a lot of Baldwin spinets and consoles, and I've never had
a reason to even check what the damper flanges were like.
