Actually, the spring/string assembly needs to be in the correct position -
hooked to the side and pulling sideways for laterals, or unhooked and
pulling down for hill & dales.
With an Edison cygnet horn attached directly to the reproducer, a good band
record is impressive !

And, yes, it is capable of playing
vertical modulation about as well as lateral. This is because the
connection from the wood arm to the soundbox diaphragm is accomplished
with a string that is oriented at approximately a 45 degree angle to the
center of the diaphragm. This arrangement causes either vertical or
lateral motion of the wood arm to be transmitted (rather poorly) to the
diaphragm. >
