(2) Relation between center positions of grooves in track and screw receiving plate
A proper relation between the center positions of the grooves in the track and screw receiving plate is
shown in Fig. 42; an improper relation between them is shown in Fig. 43. In the latter case, loosen screw
G shown in Fig. 38 and adjust the center positions of the grooves properly.
Proper mounting position Improper mounting position
The center positions of the grooves in the track and
screw receiving plate are aligned.
Screws are not fed because the center positions of the

7.14. Adjustment of clearance
The track is vibrated horizontally by the vibrator and this vibration moves screws little by little on the track
and sends them to the escapement unit. In order for the track to vibrate properly, it is therefore important for
the proper clearances between the sections shown in Fig. 44. If the track does not vibrate properly, adjust the
clearances between these sections while referring to Fig. 44 and Table 1.
