| + | [title] Checking the contrate wheel end float |
|---|---|
| + | [* icon_note] For all the other arbors it doesn't matter if there's a little play allowing them to move back and forth by a time amount between the front and back plates as the wheels will still engage with the pinions. But not for the contrate wheel as this would alter the depth of engagement with the pinion on the escapement platform. |
| + | [* black] You will see two screws on the back plate, one of them directly over the the contrate wheel pinion hole. Adhust this by the tiniet amount, first of all antclockwise, until there u=is no play and the contrate wheel still turns completely freely. |
| + | [* black] You can wind the main spring by a minimal amount to check that th contrate wheel turns freely. |
