Some errors popped into 030208 MMDigest as I was editing. In the
article by Randolph Herr, the rescued concert grand Steinway Duo-Art
piano was summarily truncated by 6 inches!
I traced the problem to my DOS text editor: it doesn't display fraction
characters, thus "9 1/2 feet" displayed as "9 feet". The text is now
corrected and the article at the permanent MMD Archives shows the
length of the concert grand Steinway Duo-Art as 9-1/2 feet. My
apologies to Randolph.
Please, authors -- use the fraction bar ("forward slash") when writing
fractions, and connect the integer to the fraction with a hyphen, like
above. Thanks.
