" What is the proper method of cleaning a file"? Ans. "With a Card File brush".  This is very much like a short bristle suede brush and is rubbed with the cuts of a file to clean.  Now I know where the term came from!  God bless the English language.</DIV> <DIV>Carlos Ralon, RPT   </DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE dir=ltr style="PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #000000 2px solid; MARGIN-RIGHT: 0px"> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- </DIV> <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; FONT: 10pt arial; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A title=imatunr@srvinet.com href="mailto:imatunr@srvinet.com">Joe And Penny Goss</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>To:</B> <A title=pianotech@ptg.org href="mailto:pianotech@ptg.org">Pianotech List</A> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Sent:</B> Monday, July 30, 2007 9:07 AM</DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Re: Old Janssen upright w/ broken action bracket </DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV>Hi Terry,</DIV> <DIV>Carding is a term some used in place of filing.
