>>DO THE SPRING STRENGTH FIRST, AND PRECISELY

 

The spring tension will change to some degree (sometimes a lot) when the
other regulation points are done, therefore it is impossible to adjust the
strength precisely on the FIRST pass. Most of the regulation points except
let-off will change, even if it is a small amount, after other points are
tackled. Thus the "rounds of regulation". But it is true that the spring
tension should be either after blow distance or not far behind. Let off can
come before spring tension. The 37 steps are just that. steps. but not the
process as a whole. You will be going up a few steps and  then back down a
few more and so on. you'll be running up and down the staircase a number of
times, until every point is in harmony with what the technician KNOWS is
supposed to happen. Without that knowledge of what is supposed to happen,
all you're doing is following steps in sequence and crossing your fingers at
the end of the last step. The concept of what is actually happening when you
change a point of regulation is imperative.
