Thank you so much for all the information you have provided me.  I have
forwarded the photo of Hauke's mechanism to my parents because they
know better what I need.  I'm thinking this is it, from the little
I have heard them talk about.  I'm quite excited, and will know for
sure tomorrow and will let Hauke know then.  I have already e-mailed
him, too, to let him know that I am interested, providing this is the
correct part.  Thanks again so very much!
