Marshall Moseley Staking Tool Set Layout

In a recent thread, Tom Colson posted links to updates to his K&D Inverto website - including newly scanned documentation for Marshall/Moseley staking tool sets.  This is exceedingly useful and important information - thanks! 

This leads, though, to a question:  What was the original factory box layout for the punches and stumps in the Moseley Staking Tool set?  I can't quite make it out from any of the photographs in the Marshall documents. K&D layouts have been published, but I cannot seem to find any Marshall/Moseley layouts.

Recently I acquired what was probably originally an 80-punch / 20-stump Moseley staking set in excellent condition, and I've since been able to expand its punch count to something nearer to one of the more complete sets (though as yet I lack the jeweling attachment).  But I can't figure out what the original punch/stump arrangement should have been.  It's made a bit more complicated by the fact that many of the punches, if placed in the lowest row of punch holes, interfere with the full closing of the box lid.

Unfortunately, no; I have discovered nothing further.  Neither could I make up an arrangement that both made sense to me and fit in the spaces.  So I found a second already-empty box on ebay and use both together.  Clearly this isn't right, but it has the advantage that it accommodates the occasional duplicate piece well.  If you would post the arrangement you end up adopting, I would be interested in seeing it.

Thank You oldhippy. I have seen that thread and many other, photos, sales flyers and manuals. I'm really looking for a diagram of the original layout with the C & E Marshall stake and stump numbers if someone had one floating around. Something like this one for K & D. If I end up figuring it out on my own I will make one and post it. Hoping someone has already done it and might share. 
Thanks again.

I realise this post is very old but it took me a long while to connect the dots here.

I do believe that the way the punches are laid out in the old C.E Marshall catalog (here) on pages 10 + 11 are the same as seen in the image of the set on page 12. However, instead of being spread over 5 rows (on pages 10 + 11) the punches are over 10 rows in the actual set (on page 12).

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By JohnR725 · Posted

      this is something I've never quite understood about the some of the Swiss companies. In 1957 Omega was using 9010 for the keyless parts with epilam. there's been a slow migration towards using heavier lubrication's but still typically oils and epilam to keep them in place. When it seems like 9504 works so much better.

      Is this a 'hack' ?

      OK, welcome in the world of alarm clocks... I guess the 4th wheel is dished because it is from another movement. If it was not dishet, then it would not mesh with the pinion of the escape wheel, am I right? The marks of wear on the 4th wheel pinion doesn't corespond to the 3th wheel table position, at list this is what i see on the picts. Calculating the rate is easy - there is a formula - BR = T2 x T3 x T4 x T5 x 2 /(P3 x P4 x P5) where T2 - T5 are the counts of the teeth of the wheels tables, and P3 - P5 are the counts of the pinion leaves. Vibrating the balance is easy - grasp for the hairspring where it should stay in the regulator with tweasers, let the balance hang on the hairspring while the downside staff tip rests on glass surface. Then make the balance oscillate and use timer to measure the time for let say 50 oscillations, or count the oscillations for let say 30 seconds. You must do the free oscillations test to check the balance staff tips and the cone cup bearings for wear. This kind of staffs wear and need resharpening to restore the normal function of the balance.

      Any tips to correct a sloppy error?

      Glue a nut to the barrel lid, insert a bolt, pull, disolve the glue.  Maybe someone will have a better answer.

      Setting lever spring

      By mikepilk · Posted

      The stress is the force (on the spring) x distance. The maximum stress is at the bottom, and decreases up the arm. That's why they always break at the bottom. I used a round file, then something like 2000 grit to finish. I gave the rest of the arm a quick polish - no need for a perfect finish. Just make sure there are no 'notches' left from cutting/filing. The notches act like the perforations in your toilet paper 🤣

      It's probably a cardinal rule for watch repair to never get distracted while at the bench. Yesterday, after finishing a tricky mainspring winding/barrel insertion (I didn't have a winder and arbor that fit very well) I mentally shifted down a gear once that hurdle was passed. There were other things going on in the room as I put the barrel and cover into the barrel closer and pressed to get that satisfying snap. But when I took it out I realized I never placed the arbor.  When opening a barrel, we are relying on the arbor to transfer a concentrically-distributed force right where it is needed at the internal center of the lid. However, when that isn't present it's difficult to apply pressure or get leverage considering the recessed position of the lid, the small holes in the barrel and the presence of the mainspring coils. It was a beat-up practice movement so I didn't take a lot of time to think it over and I pushed it out using a short right-angle dental probe placed in from the bottom, but that did leave a bit of a scratch and crease in the thin lid. I had also thought about pulling it using a course-threaded screw with a minor thread diameter smaller than the lid hole and a major diameter larger, but that may have done some damage as well.  Thinking about how this might have been handled had it been a more valuable movement, is there a method using watchmaking or other tools that should extract the lid with the least damage?
