so as to be able to control the speed of the Barrel as it runs

down. Count the turns of the Barrel while releasing the train.

Normally this will require 5 to 7 revolutions or turns of the

spring barrel. Less than this may indicate that the clock was

not winding properly possibly indicating a problem with the

bellows or motor. (Note: Regulator knob D above only in

models prior to 1951.)

After completely unwinding the mainspring, remove the

motor by unscrewing the four motor mounting nuts (I - Figure

1), using Key No. 5 (Figure 5). In the absence of the factory-

made tool, an 8 mm (5/16 inch) spanner or open-end wrench

can be used. For Caliber 540 models, the motor is removed

by rotating the motor unit in a counter-clockwise direction. It

is on a bayonet-type mount.

When the motor and movement have been removed, see

if the balance is well poised. If it is, the small roller at the top

of the balance staff will be constantly centered on the

regulating clamp as the balance revolves; this is to prevent

the roller from ever touching the clamp while the clock is

running, despite the slight, inevitable to-and-fro movements

which occur. If this condition is not fulfilled, re-adjust the

balance tube by bending it very gently as little as possible.
