Hello, namesake

In spite of the difficulties of the translation, I respond to your concern

First. The big difference with the key "to the three fashions" is in the flange of the rake, that in the miquelete is false (under the knob) and in the key to the three fashions, as in the French key, the flange forms part Integral of the cup (Estrivillo, says the document of the Palace reproduced by LAVIN)

Second. The spring of the rake is visible, and not concealed as in the miquelete, under the flange and concealed by it, and the vetice points in the same direction as the major spring, and not as in the miquelte, which has vetice Towards the cat's foot and the end pointing to the front end of the platen. The fact that the spring of the rake is located above or in front of the major spring is inconsequential, and depends on the builder of the key, and the length that he wanted to give to the stage of the key.

Third. Sometimes, the spring is not bent but curved, as is the case with some examples of miquelete, but it is still visible (although the cup has a flange, as in an example shown by Calvo), but it follows the same orientation as In the key to the Roman

Fourth It may be noted that the position of the half-mounted chock differs in the two exemplars, but is not definitive.

I think that's all
