Next, unscrew the 6 screws of the stand and base plate to

free the framework from the base.

To free the balance, unscrew regulating clamp screw J

and wire sleeve screw K (Figure 3). Gently, pull out pin N

while holding up the balance; then gently disengage the

balance by raising up the framework. See that the regulating

clamp does not remain locked in the regulating sleeve. (There

must be no danger of the wire coming into contact with the

aperture in the small roller, but must be protected by the

clamp.)

When balance has been removed, check winding

mechanism as follows:

To wind the mainspring, compress the back spring H

(Figure 4) in the hand. (Stop movement of gear-train and allow

back spring to release itself as many times as necessary.) When

back spring is completely expanded, it is equilibrated with

mainspring. The latter must never be wound more than the

back spring can wind it. If the mainspring is overwound, the

movement will bank. During this operation, count the number

of revolutions of the barrel required to wind mainspring. When

the springs are equilibrated, to secure the best working

conditions, the mainspring should be wound to a minimum

of 5 revolutions and a maximum of 7 revolutions. The winding

of the mainspring ceases abruptly. If it does not, that is to say,

if the back spring continues to wind the mainspring with a

small momentum (by 2, 1, or even 1/2 of a ratchet cog at a

time), it signifies that winding is not being operated under
