On a different post we were discussing units of measurements. Not wanting to highjack the post, I thought we could discuss here.

What is the origin of Dennison's.

@Waggyonly one lecturer insisting on units of measurement, all mine did.

Yes they all used to chop marks but this guy was so over the top and passionate about it that it still stands out in my memory so vividly.

  I don't. I just spin off as much excess as possible. I have a strong suspicion that #111 and Rinse #3 contain a high percentage of kerosene.

  So, looking at my own module, I can see that there are actually oil sinks on the outside of the jewels. I am going to apply oil in the conventional manner and see how it goes. Actually, this is interesting. A third version of a service guide for this movement. I did learn that the 0.6mm 'gauge' for measuring the chrono second wheel depth is actually a screwdriver tip (this is sensible, the others just show this as a cylinder shape so I used a micro drill tip). It also provides minimum amplitude for the base movement in horizontal and vertical positions and vertical positions, after 24h with the chrono running.

  How do you rinse so as not to contaminate 111?

  I know this is an old topic but may I suggest you check that the holding clamps are not upside down. In some cases the spacer has the clamps facing upwards and the movement clamps facing down.

  Thank you. I tried both push, lift and slide without success ... I will keep researching
