Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

MANAGERS AND PROJECTIONISTS 711 flywheel until large end of pin in hub of gear on vertical shaft just under governor weights points straight out, and make a scratch mark on rim of large gear exactly opposite end of pin and another at edge of flywheel. After intermittent unit and gear are in place pull intermittent casing out just far enough so that the two gears disengaged, and if the O's are present, turn gear and flywheel until the "0" on each is in line with the other, whereupon mesh the gears. Then pull both gear and casing out until large gear disengages from gear on vertical shaft. You now have gear G12, P3, meshed with gear on flywheel shaft correctly, but not engaged with gear on vertical shaft, which is the second gear below governor weights on the shaft. Turn flywheel and gear G12 until the "0" is exactly opposite center of vertical shaft, and turn vertical shaft until big end of pin is opposite the "0", whereupon shove the casing and gear home, put collar on opposite end of shaft of gear G12, replace gear G-112-G, P3, and its retaining screw, being very sure the clutch faces on shaft of gear G-112-G, P.3, engaged properly. NOTICE. — Unless these clutch faces or shoulders do engage properly, the gear will not go clear on and the teeth of the two gears will not engage their full width. Next engage locks C294BB, P2, (two of them) with rim or flange of framing cam, tighten their holding screws and the job is done. INSTRUCTION NO. 4— ADJUSTMENT TO ELIMINATE LOST MOTION IN INTERMITTENT SPROCKET.— See general instruction No. 5, and study it. Remember that this adjustment is usually made when the mechanism is cold, and that the parts will expand through the normal heat of operation, which includes some heat from the "spot," which is carried through the metal. Therefore always make the test for lost motion in the intermittent sprocket immediately after running a reel. First turn flywheel until intermittent sprocket stops, and then about a quarter of a turn more. You then know the movement or the star is "on the lock," as it must be for this adjustment. In the hub of the intermittent casing, B, P.2 or B-8, P.4, you will find two small screws. Loosen, but do not remove them, after which apply wrench end of Simplex spanner wrench, or some other suitable wrench to the hexagon nut between the intermittent sprocket and the bushing.
