The contact spring must be pointing
exactly
to
the center
of
the balance
staff
.
It
should
be
centered horizon-
tally
between the impulse disc and
the
balance.
The contact spring
requires
very
careful treatment.
Protect
it
from
scratches
and
de-
forming
and
avoid
excessive bend-
ing
while
adjusting. Do not touch
the contact
area
at
the end
of
the
spring. Do no rubbing,
grinding,
polishing, etc.,
in this area.
In
short,
handle
it
with
the same care
as
is
used
in
handling
a hairspring.
The contact
pin,
contact
jewel
and
contact spring must
NOT
be oiled.
The presence
of
oil
on these parts
would
interrupt
the
flow
of
current
to
the
drive
coil.
The length
of
the contact spring
is
fixed
at
the factory.
No
attempt
should
be
made
to
adjust this
length.
