DISK AND BEARINGS
The lower jewel may be tested for cracks by exploring its surface with the
point of a fine needle.
The jewel should be turned up until the disk is centered
in the air gap, after which it should be locked in position by the set screw
provided for this purpose.
CONTACT CLEANING
A flexible burnishing tool should be used to clean fine silver contacts.
This
is a flexible strip of metal with an etch-roughened surface, resembling in effect a
superfine file.
The polishing action is so delicate that no scratches are left,
yet corroded material will be removed rapidly and thoroughly.
The flexibility of
the tool ensures cleaning the actual points of contact.
Fine silver contacts should not be cleaned with knives, files, or abrasive
paper or cloth.
Knives or files may leave scratches, which increase arcing and
deterioration of the contacts.
Abrasive paper or cloth may leave minute particles
of insulating abrasive material between the contacts, preventing them from closing
completely.
The burnishing tool described above can be obtained from the factory.
REREWAL PARTS
Sufficient quantities of renewal parts should be carried in stock to enable
the prompt replacement of any that are worn, broken, or damaged.
When ordering renewal parts, address the nearest Sales Office of the General
Electric Company, specify the quantity required, and describe the parts by catalog
number, as shown in Renewal Parts Bulletin No. GEF-3897.
