Henry Steinway, Jr. receives the United States patent #32,386, to “arrangement of the repetition lever and the jack in combination with hammer-butt and key to allow escape of the jack with minimal friction and facilitate repetition”, and also the United States patent #32, 387, to “arrangement of the repetition lever and jack to facilitate return of the jack to its notch in the hammer-butt for improved quickness of repetition” (clearly a further improvement of the invention patented in 1857 and 1858.)
