<p><small>While working on a 1908 Bradbury upright, WNG action, I
came across an interesting b.r. pin setup. The elliptical top
1/2" of the pins measures .086 and the lower part .145. Front
rail sharps .146, naturals .145. Less wear and tear on b.r.
mortise, I imagine.</small></p>

Not so rare...All(?) old Chickerings and Knabes used .087 BR
pins. Some other oldies had 'em, too.<br>
