On some fully automatic instruments, the long bridge linkage from LH3 to the 8ve mechanism is connected to the LH1 fingerplate (with an adjusting screw) so it almost closes LH1 when LH3 is closed so they can lift off instead of rolling down for the middle C#-Eb and lower altissimo. While LH3 is raised, the LH1 fingerplate will open fully.
This can be removed and a new arm and adjusting screw for LH1 can be fitted so it makes direct contact with the body as is the norm on semi-auto instruments.
Some older oboes (usually older thumbplate systems with ring keys eg. B&H oboes) have the LH1 fingerplate linked to the LH2 ring to lower it to almost closed.
