[HBR] Eddystone 898 dial drive

[Chris Howard w0ep]

Yes, I understand completely what you are saying.
I will have to look at it awhile and contemplate.

I will also do some google searching to see if any
pictures are available from outside and from inside
with that dial.  I think that would help.

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.
