The clip ring is what the rubber bushing behind the Main Tuning knob presses against to drive the dial assembly. It must be far enough forward to allow the knob to maintain enough friction without the knob touching the front panel. The rubber "clutch" is just to allow fine adjustment of the dial reading to coincide with the actual PTO frequency. The one (or two) levers atop the gearbox are to disengage the gears and allow coarse adjustment of the dial plates. The plates can also be slipped by applying pressure to the edge of the plate while holding the knob to allow fine adjustment for aligning everything against the red fiducial line in the dial window.

The PTO is "direct drive", all the gearing is just to drive the two dial plates.

Hello All
Is someone able to explain the meaning of the clip ring, and the 28mm. outer Alu. bushing right beneath the clip ring to me?
Are these two parts necessary?
Is someone able to explain the principle of the gear by words or by help of a sketch? I am preparing a cleaning and maintenance of the gear. Thanks in advance. Regards
