Williams
Piano Company of Oshawa was another leading Canadian piano company that
developed a rather unique response to compete with the new Heintzman plate
design.
Robert
Sugden Williams had a new plate designed called New Scale Williams. This
involved a new plate flange similar in look to the Heintzman Patented Agraffe
bridge flange.
In the New
Scale Williams design holes were not drilled into the flange itself but an
agraffe was set into the backside of the flange, in what I have called a
reverse agraffe assembly.
Recently I
came across one of these instruments and took a series of photos of this
particular set-up.
I can
imagine if one of these agraffes ever broke it would be impossible to repair
without removing the entire plate.
The link below is the photo set for the New Scale Williams plate design.
Please note
that recently Google has changed the Picasa web albums that I use here on this
blog. If anyone experiences problems with viewing the photos let me know and I
will assist in solving the problem.
