Drilling and soldering

3 February 2011
I drilled and threaded two M0.8 holes in the barrel bridge to hold the setting lever spring in place. The setting lever spring will cover the yoke to hold it down, and one of the screws will hold the new yoke spring in place.




The winding stem needed support, so I soldered in a piece of brass tube that I had filed in half. Otherwise the stem would bend under the setting lever and wouldn't work. I suspected that this would be an issue, but easily fixed. I also removed the Breguet teeth on the sliding pinion.
