Some Cosmos PTO's have screws in the linearity disk "all the way around"
and others only have "most of the way around". I've gone one of each.
But I think they all had to have linearity adjustments. Non-Cosmos ones
have internally-adjusted corrector stacks.

The linearity hole isn't exactly behind the transformer can but is just
a
little bit towards the center. Inside the hole you will see a circular
zig-zag
of little 4-flute socket screws.
