<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT><FONT face=Arial>I had never heard of this =
idea before
now. Interesting. I think I understand what is being described. A rod =
packed
with loose-fitting washers. The loose washer allows a key being removed =
to push
up the few washers at its location without disturbing other washers =
sitting on
other keys. Right? Where do you lay the washer-rod? Seems like anywhere =
forward
of the backcheck would be problematic - but then there isn't much =
room
behind the backcheck....... Additional info would be =
appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
