Course knob assembly

The paired course controls and their shafts, gears and spring-loaded fittings at the sight end.

Drag to turn · Arrow keys to rotate · Home to reset

Follow the mechanism

Follow the two control shafts into their separate gear trains.

The drawing establishes their relative placement; exact tooth profiles and spring forces are not dimensioned.

Geometry follows the cited drawings and photographs. Unmeasured dimensions remain approximate; exploded spacing reveals existing model groups rather than a prescribed disassembly procedure.
