8.6 The wipers shall exert a pressure of 20 grammes minimum 40 grammes<br />
maximum on the bank contacts. (Readjust 22 grammes minimum 38 grammes<br />
maximum). The tension is measured with the gauge inserted at the heel so<br />
that the pointer tip engages at the centre point of the width of the wiper<br />
and at the inward set of the wiper tip, after stepping the rotor to the 25th<br />
row of contacts electrically, or by hand operation of armature.<br />
8.7 The side movement of the wipers on entering and leaving the bank contact<br />
shall in no case exceed the thickness of a bank contact, i.e., 15 mil.<br />
8.8 After adjustment the wipers shall be free from bows and kinks and shall<br />
conform to shape shown on the assembly drawing.<br />
9. Feeder Brush<br />
9.1 The pressure of each feeder brush on the collector ring measured as near<br />
the tip as possible, shall be 20 grammes minimum. (Readjust 24 grammes<br />
minimum).<br />
9.2 The clearance between the feeder brushes and wipers shall be 10 mil minimum<br />
with the rotor assembly moved sideways in the 23rd position.<br />
10. Armature Restoring Springs<br />
10.1 The tension of the armature restoring springs shall be evenly distributed<br />
between the two springs and shall be sufficient to step the wipers reliably<br />
when the armature is released slowly. On the 3, 4 and 5 level uniselectors<br />
the combined pull of the two springs should give a back pressure of 900<br />
grammes minimum measured immediately in front of the back stop screw.<br />
10.2 After the adjustments in 10.1 have been made there shall be from 2 to 4<br />
threads exposed on each adjusting screw.<br />
11. Pointer<br />
11.1 The pointer shall be set to coincide with a marking on the number wheel<br />
when the armature is unoperated.<br />
11.2 In the case of homing selectors the pointer shall be set to indicate the zero<br />
position when the wipers are on the home contacts.<br />
11.3 In the case of non-homing selectors, the pointer shall be set to indicate the<br />
first position when the wipers are standing on the first set of bank contacts.<br />
