Due to the fact that all work on the intermittent is done on a 1-10,000 basis, it may seem to the unpracticed man, that the sprocket is a little tight for the spindle or shaft. Should this be so, put a few drops of oil upon the shaft and very carefully entering the shaft into the sprocket, twist the sprocket u*i as far as possible until it sticks, then take the sprocket off and repeat this twisting operation, which if properly carried out, results in wearing down the 1-10, 000th surplus thickness of the shaft, and results in a perfectly tight and secure fit.

Then push bushing into its bearing until the star is pressed against cam or pin wheel. Turn the fly wheel slowly, pushing in on sprocket until cam pin P-279-B, P.5 engages with slot in star S-551-B, P.5, when bushing can be pushed home; now
