<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Sounds like a daunting, but =
interesting task. I
guess what you would need to do is start at the strike line across all =
the
strings and work out to the keyfront from there. I've never done any =
such
thing - would sure like to keep abreast of what you do though. I have =
a 1902
6' 4" Knabe in my shop right now for a complete remanufacture. Perhaps =
if your
plate and action cavity are similar, I might be able to help you with =
some
measurements off my Knabe?</FONT></DIV>
