The bottom line on the second ruled section would still lose letters
(most noticeably the "go"). When we put in shims to tighten it, the
line above it then got looser, then shimming the both made the line
above *that* one looser. It seemed like the whole text block itself was
just not spaced quite right.
I would have made a few "thins" out of paper, and used one or more to
get the bottom line tight with the rest of the lines.
There are a few sheets of onion skin paper on top of the card stock
cabinet, which is thinner then the 20lb Xerox paper Athena uses.
Some of the type cases have factory made paper thins in them.

I also had rebuilt the bottom one with standard rules. The rules were
all different, and a bit longer than the old ones.
And I replaced the two side rules, as the block got longer this time -
that is - got more lines.

Yeah, that's what I was guessing too. I replaced it though, with the
thin and the 8pt.
