Anyone have any guesses as to the purpose of the crazy notch in the center of the saddle casting? The only thing I can figure is someone was too lazy to disassemble for a repair of some sort (??). The part that is cut out is part of the main saddle casting and is probably 3/8-1/2" thick. I can't imagine this did any favors to the accuracy/ stability of the saddle.
