Moving Coil, Forw ard-Reverse Magnet, Stop-Capstan Adjustments
The purpose of the following adjustment procedure is to keep the entire motion
control linkage as symmetrical as possible, in both a forward and reverse status.
The start-stop times in either direction should be as nearly equal as the tolerances
of the system will allow.

Positioning the moving coil:
1.
Turn the left and right stop capstans so that the low radius is down.
2.
Hold both the forward and reverse moving pulleys up in contact with the low
radius of the stop capstans by pulling down on the moving coil pull rod.
moving coil on the pull rod, by loosening the nut and turning the moving coil on the
pull rod, so that the coil does not bottom on the magnet. At this point, check to in­
sure that the magnet assembly is positioned correctly to prevent the pull rod from
striking the core.
Check also that the moving coil and its linkages do not bind at any
point in the up-and-down or sideways motion of the moving coil system. Neither the
guide at the top of the pull rod nor the forw ard-reverse magnet armature should
interfere with any motion of the system.
