<DIV>Hi, Joe:</DIV>
<DIV> 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... </DIV>
<DIV> 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?</DIV>
<DIV> 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.</DIV>

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