A. Schild 1746/47 assembly help

[Watch13watch]

I took apart this movement awhile ago and I forget where the spring goes to hold the calender wheel in place.. I tried many ways already and none seem like the right way. If anyone has any suggestions I would love to hear them.

I believe it goes here.

I attatched it on that position but maybe not in the right way.. I will try again 

Thanks

[Chopin]

The spring is supposed to hold that small part/pivot next to it in tension which in turn will hold the calendar wheel in splace.

It'll prevent it from moving in the wrong direction but allow it to rotate in the right direction.

It goes here. You should have a small plate that goes over it and screws down in that hole near the arrow.

I put the spring in like this and tested it but it puts too much tension on the wheel that it wont turn. If i dont put it like this though it doesnt sit flush

I’ve never seen this one in person but it looks awkward with the long leg on the right side. Try turning it over and see how it looks and works.

If I put it the other way the long arm will go under the calender wheel so I dont think i can

[oldhippy]

That is the wrong way around.

[Chopin]

The movement that I had had a different spring than yours. It was shorter and it was flat not rounded.

Something like this.

Might be a good idea to check that the one that you have is the right one.

I don't think you have the correct spring. The one Chopin has posted looks more like the part. But with out that plate it will not stay, it will become detached.
