Hi Lee, Base movement of ETA 2824 and 2836 are entirely interchangeable, and both calibers are most common of ETA's , so your next project can be either of said calibers in need of balance complete. Rgds

Just be careful with that white powder, no laying it out in straight lines. Diamantine powder ? Talc for brass ? Dab a bit on some sensitive bits after you've had a shower. -

Even if there was a cap jewel on the dial side, the pivot will still drop off the cap jewel maker's side when the watch is turned dial down. There still needs to be end shake, the cap is mainly doing its thing when the pivot is resting down on it and then any part vertical position where it still may touch. I guess its assumed that dial up is the most frequent position hence one sided cap jewel on the MS. That sounds feasible as the watch spends it's night that way up. The crown and stem missing ? -
Thanks, @Nucejoe. That's good news at least. Just when I thought I was done with the balance wheel and shock-absorbers! 😀

My guesses.. 1. wood chips for drying parts in after the final rinse. A bit of an archaic practice these days. 2. could be French chalk for brushing cleaned clock plates with.... or maybe diamantine powder for polishing.... could also be oilstone powder, also for polishing, although the stuff that I have got is slightly greyish. 3. Blueing pan. Fill it with brass chips, place item to be blued on the chips and hold the pan over a spirit burner. 4. & 5. Pallet warmer for softening the shellac in order to adjust the pallet stones.
