[HBR] Eddystone 898 dial drive

[Whitebear1122]

I have the template and 898 in front of me.  What you are looking at is a metal shipping bracket attached to each side.  Mine is green.  That comes off.  It's there solely to support the dial and string in the shipping box.

The template shows the cutout for the slide rule.  I had to look closely at first because it was confusing with those drill holes in the 4 corners of the inside radius.  What i surmise is that the holes are drilled first to give the soon to be opening a proper inside radius, then the builder cuts out the rest of the opening to the radiuses.  Did I describe it ok?  Then the outside frame mounts to the panel and ties into the slide rule using the 4 5/32" mounting screws.

I've been slowly collecting parts as well.  I have everything except a couple boxes of screws and nuts, have all the rest.

Email if you have questions.
