Started the day by drilling the new hole for the setting lever screw in the balance bridge, then set the movement in the lathe. Here I turned out the space for the intermediate wheel and the yoke, pretty tricky.
Next in turn was the milling, to create room for the setting mechanism. This was done in a drill, since we don't have a real milling machine.
This is the result, to the left the setting stem pulled out and the sliding pinion working with the intermediate wheel. To the right, the stem pushed in and the sliding pinion out from the intermediate wheel. I have also made the screw holes deeper and the screw heads thinner to make room for the milling. There's still a lot of work to be done here, making a spring for the yoke and adjusting the original setting lever spring.
