believe David and others are asking (as am I) exactly a ratio of what measurement
to what measurement. Hammer weight to shank weight? Hammer length to shank
length? Are you speaking of the standard Center Pin to Knuckle Core and
Center Pin to Hammer Center? If so, are both these measurements taken along
the same line? Or are you measuring from Center Pin to Knuckle contact
point and Center Pin to Hammer tip or somesuch. Maybe this is a Stanwood-type
weight thing?</font>
