Piano action pictures

[Brian Lawson, RPT]

Thought I might as well get around to posting a question. Is there a url with a definitive series of pictures of different piano actions (grand & upright) on the web. I tuned a Cramer grand today, had a knotch instead of a roller, but the wippen was similar to a regualar action.

I have a large collection of action diagrams, especially upright ones, and I am happy to deal with specific enquiries, but it would be impractical to put them all on the net, and anyway, 40 years of research doesn't come cheap!

I have put some of the more common ones up on my main history page and diagrams which come with the patents The Cramer one you refer to is an
Herrberger action normal double escapement but with notches it was the successor to the single escapement action they did you only tend to find
them in small grands Sames grands had them as well - they tend to be quite light action you do need to use Doe skin rather than leather to replace the
notches to achieve a smooth set off
