Why would wrap-around sticker cloth be quieter? </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>There are plenty of old uprights with just the square of cloth </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=+0>on the bottom of the stickers that don't clunk on key return."</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>David, </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>You're yanking my cord...right? To answer the first question: Because the contact area is NOT glued to the sticker. And, there is air between the felt and the wood, which makes for quieter. You find that principle used on back rails and many other applications. I'm suprised you did not know that.<G></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>As for the second question: I have not clue why other "old uprights" don't "clunk" a loud as this one, In question. The answer to that, probably, would be in the form of MANY answers, I suspect.<G> Kinda like "why does my VW bus get better gas mileage than your VW bus?" I have no clue.<G></FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Regards,</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT size=3>Joe</FONT></DIV></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Joe Garrett, R.P.T.</DIV> <DIV>Captain of the Tool Police</DIV> <DIV>Squares R I</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <P></P></BODY></HTML>
