It is virtually identical to a 'screw and eye' mechanism of a
modern bow, mounted on a brass plate. The 'screw' is let into holes
on both ends of the plate and the 'eye' ends with a hook (to which
the string is fastened) that slides along the slot of the plate. I
never bothered to take photographs of it myself but you may find
images on this page useful:

I want to make a watch-key tuning mechanism of the type

patented by Preston in the 1770s (not the Portuguese "peacock"
style).
I can't find any photos which show a rear view of the tuner, or a
cross-section drawing.
Does anyone have any info that might be useful?
