[Steam-engine] Gauge adjustment.

Hopefully someone with more knowledge will respond
also.  To put the pointer back on I would position it
pointing where it needs to be (ex: 100psi if on a dead
weight tester set to 100) and press it on gently as
straight as possible with your fingers.  I would say
the slop is to be avoided in the linkages.  I think
that it is usually corrected by reaming the holes and
using a larger pin to tighten up the connection. Clock
makers will have the tools and skills needed for this
part.
