[Steam-engine] Gauge adjustment.

[Ken Hough]

The hair spring holds it against the pin. This removes all slop in the 
gear train. 
The issue here that has a trained, qualified and bonded repairman done the 
work inside the gage before the needle is replaced? I'm qualified to do 
this work having trained in the US Navy how to. But I'm not bonded. I 
contacted my insurance company to find out about getting bonded. They 
referred me to the Hartford Ins. Co. Contacting them I was informed that
bonding is very similar to being certified to weld on a boiler. Lots of 
paper-work and lots in yearly premiums.

  Once the needle is off, what's the proper proceedure for putting it back
on?  Is slop allowed in any of the linkages?  Ours has a lot in one place
by the tube.

TIA,
