brush relative to the brush stop. On two-circuit
closing relays, the two stationary contact tips
should be in the same vertical plane.

where it holds the contacts just closed, it should

and the brushes are correctly adjusted, shift the
dial by changing the position of the arm attached to
the shaft just below the time dial. Loosen the screw
