MAINTENANCE
 
A. PRELIMINARY INSTRUCTIONS
 
13A1. General. Extreme vigilance and care are necessary in the inspection, cleaning, and repair of parts. Personnel performing repair work should use common sense in judging whether or not a part should be put back into service or discarded. If there is any doubt, the part should be replaced. With the exception of the bearings and electrical equipment, corrosion should be removed from the parts by washing them in kerosene. Hydraulic equipment should be washed in clean fresh water. After cleaning, dry the parts thoroughly, and apply a light film of gyro oil to prevent rusting or corrosion of the parts. Use Navy-approved cleaning fluid to clean grease and oil from the parts. Keep the bearings oiled and clean by wrapping them in wax paper until they are needed for assembly. Clean the contacts and slip rings with ordinary paper to remove any film of oil or grease. Smooth off pitted contacts with a jeweler's file and polish with a burnishing tool. Do not use crocus cloth, crocus paper, or sandpaper on the contacts. Replace all cracked or broken parts. The area in which repair work is being done should be kept clean to prevent dust and dirt from getting on the parts.

13A2. Operating the system on a static head. This is a means of checking the operation of

Figure 13-1. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks
positioned for operating on static head.
Figure 13-1. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks positioned for operating on static head.

  the log system while the ship is at rest on the surface. By shutting off the pressure on one side of the bellows, unequal pressure is obtained on the bellows, and the system will operate at one speed in the same manner as if the ship were underway. This permits the checking and inspection of the system under operating conditions. The log is operated on the static head as follows: Turn the valves to the static head operating position as shown in Figure 13-1. The system will now operate at approximately 5 knots. After inspection, turn the valves to their secured position as shown in Figure 11-2. The transmitter indicator mechanism will then stop operating and the speed pointers should be at the zero position.

Figure 13-2. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks
in zero position.
Figure 13-2. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks in zero position.

13A3. Checking the operation of the system with a weight and arm. This operation is a means of checking the functioning of the system when the ship is either at rest or underway, on the surface or submerged. It is described in detail in Section 14A10.

13A4. Setting the C-adjustment. (See Figures 13-2 and 13-3.) The C-adjustment mechanism consists of a micrometer assembly which connects the bellows rod with the main balance arm. This micrometer is a means of

adjusting the master transmitter indicator so that the speed pointer will point at exact zero on the dial. Setting the C-adjustment is accomplished in the following manner: Set the valves to the zero position as shown in Figure 13-2. Thoroughly vent the hydraulic system as described in Section 11A5. If the speed

Figure 13-6. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks positioned for blowing out dynamic line.

  pointer is not at the zero position on the dial, turn the micrometer thimble (shown in Figure 13-3) until the pointer is at exact zero position on the dial. This adjustment is important because all other log adjustments are performed only after making certain that the C-adjustment is correct.

B. MAINTENANCE OF RODMETER
 
13B1. Testing for obstruction in the rodmeter. The rodmeter may become clogged with jellyfish, mud, seaweed, or other foreign matter. Consequently the pressure difference will not be normal, and the mechanism will not register correctly. The following test must be performed when the ship is on the surface. Position the valves and vent cocks as shown in Figure 13-4. If a full stream of water does not flow from both drain cocks, it is an indication that the line not flowing is clogged.

13B2. Blowing out the rodmeter. This operation should be performed with the rodmeter in its extended, or operating, position. It is good practice to blow out both lines even if the tests for obstruction indicate that only one line is clogged, as foreign matter has probably entered both passages. Blow out the static line in the following manner: Position the maneuvering cocks and drain cocks as shown in Figure 13-5. Disconnect the dynamic line at the pressure snubber as shown in Figure 13-5 and plug the line openings with

  rubber corks. Apply low-pressure air to the fitting at the drain maneuvering cock. After the static line is blown clear, remove the rubber corks and reconnect the dynamic line. Blow out the dynamic line as follows: Position the maneuvering cocks and drain cocks as shown in Figure 13-6. Apply low-pressure air to the fitting at the drain maneuvering cock. To blow out both the static and dynamic lines simultaneously, position the maneuvering cocks and drain cocks as shown in Figure 13-7. Apply low-pressure air to the fitting at the drain maneuvering cock. After blowing out the hydraulic lines, test for obstructions in the rodmeter as described in Section 13B1. Vent the hydraulic system thoroughly after blowing out the rodmeter as described in Section 11A5.

13B3. Removing solid obstructions from the rodmeter. (See Figure 13-8.) If obstructions cannot be removed by blowing out the rodmeter with compressed air, the following operations are necessary: Raise the rodmeter to its fully housed position. Close the sea

 
135

valve. Raise the rodmeter until its lower end is above the sea valve extension. Using a soft brass wire, dig out the obstructions from the openings on the lower end of the rodmeter. Do not use steel wire or a drill to clean out the openings as they may score the openings, or break off in the passages. Blow out the rodmeter as described in Section 13B2; in this case, however, the rodmeter need not be extended into the sea. Have a crew member hold his hand near the rodmeter openings to detect the flow of air which indicates that the opening and tubing are clear. Repeat this operation until all the passages are clear.

Align the lower end of the rodmeter with the opening in the sea valve extension, and carefully lower the rodmeter to its fully housed position. Care should be exercised in lowering the tip of the rodmeter through the packing gland so that the packing will not be pushed out of the gland. At the fully housed position the tip of the rodmeter is approximately 1 inch above the sea valve gate. Open the sea valve. Place the hoist stop bracket in its original position above the rodmeter. It is important that the stop bracket be in position above the rodmeter at all times, except while performing the above operation, or when the rodmeter is being replaced. Lower the rodmeter either to its normally housed position or to its fully extended position. Place the hoist crank in the brackets provided, and replace the deck plate over the sea valve.

C. REPLACING DAMAGED RODMETER
 
13C1. General instructions. If the rodmeter is bent so that it cannot be drawn up into the ship, it will be necessary to install a spare rodmeter. Do not attempt to force the damaged rodmeter up into the ship, as the hoist mechanism may be damaged. The removal and installation operations should be carried out only when the ship is surfaced. If the damaged rodmeter is to be salvaged, it may be accomplished if a diver is available. Lower the diver over the side of the ship so that he can rig a line around the damaged rodmeter. Secure the opposite end of the line to the ship

Figure 13-9. Bendix rodmeter.
Figure 13-9. Bendix rodmeter.

  so that the rodmeter may be pulled out of the water after it is pushed out of the sea valve.

13C2. Breaking out the spare rodmeter. Break out the spare rodmeter and place it alongside of the hoist mechanism so that it will be immediately available when needed.

13C3. Removing the strap and handle assembly. (See Figure 13-9.) Loosen the hose clamps and remove the two lengths of hose from the nipples on the upper end of the rodmeter. Remove the nipples from the rodmeter and plug the tapped openings with wooden plugs or standard 1/8-inch pipe plugs. Disconnect the hoist chain link from the rodmeter. Remove the two nuts and bolts that secure the straps and handle to the rodmeter and remove the straps and handle. Raise the hoist chain until the connecting link is in its topmost position against the stop bracket above the rodmeter (Figure 13-8).

13C4. Installing the spare rodmeter. (See Figure 13-9.) The spare rodmeter is equipped with straps and handle. If the damaged rodmeter is partially raised, push it downward until the dowel pins rest on top of the packing gland on the sea valve extension. Remove the two pipe plugs from the spare rodmeter and install the hose fittings. Connect the hose to the spare rodmeter and tighten the hose clamps securely. Place the tip of the spare rodmeter on top of the damaged rodmeter. Drive out the dowel pins from the damaged rodmeter. Push downward on the spare rodmeter until it is completely free of the ship. Connect the link on the chain hoist to the rodmeter handle. Vent the hydraulic system in accordance with the instructions given in Section 11A5.

 
D. MAINTENANCE OF PRESSURE BELLOWS
 
13D1. General. The submarine bellows are matched as to spring-rate at the factory and should not be disassembled. The three sections of the bellows assembly (Figure 13-10) should be replaced as a unit.

13D2. Removing the bellows chamber. (See Figure 13-11.) Remove the master transmitter

  indicator cover retaining screws and cover. With the rodmeter in its housed position, turn the valves and maneuvering cocks to the drain position (Figure 11-6). Spread the ends of the scissors spring to disengage the spring from the micrometer and pivot, and remove the scissors spring. Remove the snap rings from

each end of the counterweight shaft, and remove the shaft. Lift out the counterweight and its bracket. Do not disturb, in any way, the counterweight mounted on the bottom of the main balance arm. Carefully block or hold the bellows chamber in place while removing the nuts from the bellows mounting studs. Carefully lower the bellows assembly from the master transmitter case.

13D3. Removing the bellows from the chamber. (See Figures 13-12, 13-13, and 13-14.) Unscrew and remove the bellows chamber cap. The cap spacer and caution plate are removed with the chamber cap. Loosen the setscrew in the compensating spring holder and unscrew (counterclockwise) and remove the spring holder. Carefully remove the compensating spring assembly from the compensating spring bushing. The spring bushing is removed

  after the drain screw is removed. Remove the drain screw and gasket from the lower end of the drain tube. Loosen the three setscrews on the compensating spring bushing and remove the bushing from the drain tube. Using the special bellows wrench, which is stowed in the spare parts box, hold the lower end of the bellows as shown in Figure 13-13. Unscrew and remove the lock nut that secures the lower end of the bellows assembly to the bellows chamber. Unscrew the unions that secure the maneuvering cocks assembly to the bellows chamber and place the assembly to one side. Unscrew and remove the C-adjustment mechanism from the bellows rod by holding the rod with a wrench and unscrewing the micrometer center screw from the rod. The counterweight bearing is removed with the C-adjustment assembly. Remove the lock nut that secures the upper end of the bellows assembly to the chamber cover in the same manner that the bellows lower lock nut was removed. Loosen the three setscrews that secure the main counterweight support in position on the upper end of the bellows assembly and unscrew and remove the main counterweight support from the bellows. Remove the chamber cover by removing the eight cap screws and lock washers that secure the cover to the chamber. Lift the bellows assembly out of the bellows chamber. The bellows may be stuck in the chamber. If it is, the application of low-pressure air to the dynamic opening in the chamber will facilitate its removal.

13D4. Installing the bellows assembly in the chamber. (See Figures 13-12, 13-13, and 1314.) Make certain that the bellows chamber gasket is installed on the upper end of the chamber. Carefully insert the bellows into the chamber. Secure the lower end of the bellows to the chamber with the lock nut as follows

Tighten the lock nut in position by holding the lower end of the bellows with the special spanner wrench as shown in Figure 13-13, while turning up the nut. Place the bellows chamber cover gaskets in position on the chamber cover. Carefully place the chamber cover over the threaded end of the bellows so as not to burr the threads. Align the two large pipeline openings in the cover and in the

chamber so that the large openings are on the same side of the chamber. Align the mounting holes and install the eight cover retaining screws and lock washers. Install the lock nut that secures the upper end of the bellows to the chamber cover. Temporarily install the main counterweight bracket and bearing assembly on the upper end of the bellows assembly.

Do not tighten the setscrews in the counterweight bracket and bearing assembly at this time, as a final adjustment of the positioning of the assembly must be made when the bellows assembly is installed on the master transmitter indicator case.

Place the upper bearing housing assembly on top of the bellows rod with the large flange end of the bearing housing toward the top of the bellows rod. Temporarily install the C-adjustment mechanism in the top of the bellows rod by turning the micrometer center screw into the rod. Do not tighten the lock nut on the micrometer center screw or position the micrometer thimble at this time, as a final adjustment must be made when the complete bellows assembly is installed on the bottom of the master transmitter indicator case.

13D5. Installing the bellows assembly on the master transmitter case. (See Figure 13-11.) Position the micrometer thimble of the C-adjustment mechanism in its approximate

  central position on the micrometer barrel. This is done so that the thimble can be moved in either direction when making the final zero adjustment. Make certain that the bellows stud gaskets are in good condition and are installed on the studs. Lift the bellows assembly into position on the bottom of the transmitter case. Hold the bellows assembly in this position while adjusting the micrometer screw in the top of the bellows rod so that the pivot on top of the micrometer will just clear the pivot recess in the main balance arm pivot when the rubber stud gaskets are compressed. Tighten the lock nuts on the bellows mounting studs so that the rubber stud gaskets are completely compressed and a metal-to-metal contact is obtained between the bellows chamber cover and the transmitter case. Secure the micrometer center screw in position by tightening the lock nut on the center screw up against the inner race of the counterweight bearing. Install the scissors spring assembly to hold the micrometer up against the main balance arm pivot. Apply a coating of white lead compound to the threads of the maneuvering and drain cocks. Install the two unions connecting the maneuvering cocks with the two large tapped openings, one in the chamber cover and one in the bellows chamber. Tighten the connections. Install the two drain cocks, one in the cover and the other in the chamber. Tighten the connections. Install the drain tubing in the drain cocks. Place the rotating counterweight in position on the counterweight support, and install the counterweight shaft and the two snap rings that secure the weight to the support. There should be approximately 1/32-inch clearance between the arms of the counterweight and the counterweight bearing. Check the clearance of the counterweight to see that it does not touch the case, the weight on the main balance arm, or any stud. Position the counterweight for proper clearance by screwing the counterweight support upward or downward as necessary. When the proper clearance is obtained, secure the counterweight support in position by tightening the setscrews provided in the support. The setscrew should not be made extremely tight, as the threads on the upper end of the

bellows assembly will be damaged. There are three setscrews provided in the main counterweight support. It is necessary to tighten only the most accessible setscrew. Fill the hydraulic system with water. (See Section 11A8.) Vent the system thoroughly. (See Section 11A5.) Energize the system by turning   on the switches in the control room. Make the C-adjustment by turning the micrometer thimble upward or downward until the pointer reads zero on the speed dial. (See Section 13A4.) Check the system for dive error. (See Section 13E2.)
 
E. COMPENSATION OF SUBMARINE BELLOWS FOR DIVE ERROR
 
13E1 General. The submarine bellows is carefully adjusted for dive error when the bellows assembly is made at the factory. This adjustment should not be tampered with   d. The submarine dives to approximately 300 feet. If the log still reads zero knots, there is no diving error and the system can be put into operation without further
Figure 13-15. Dive error compensating mechanism.
Figure 13-15. Dive error compensating mechanism.
unless the bellows has been damaged, and the replacement of the bellows assembly becomes necessary. 13E2. Checking the system for dive error. The following operations are necessary in checking the system for dive error:

a. The system is completely filled with water and bled of air.

b. The valves and vent cocks are set to the zero position.

c. The C-adjustment of the master transmitter indicator is set so that the speed pointer reads zero knots.

  Figure 13-16. Maneuvering cocks and drain cocks
positioned for dive error adjustment.
NOTE: Open slowly Leave open until pressure is dissipated. Zero point with "C" adjustment, then close drain cock as shown.

143

adjustment. However, there usually is a positive error.

13E3. Adjusting for dive error. (See Figures 13-15 and 13-16.) When there is a positive dive error noted after performing the-operations outlined in Section 13E2, the following adjustment procedure is necessary:

a. Remove the chamber cap from the bottom of the bellows housing.

b. Loosen the setscrew on the compensating spring holder and screw up (clockwise) on the compensating spring holder, thus compressing the compensating spring. This will increase the error of the pointer indicator. The spring should be compressed until the indicated error of the pointer is about twice the original error.

c. Remove the static pressure in the following manner: Position the valves and vent the cocks as shown in Figure 13-16. Partially open the static drain cock as shown by the dotted outline in Figure 13-16. The static drain cock must be opened slowly so as to remove the pressure gradually. This is important as the sudden opening of the drain cock will damage the bellows. After the pressure has been dissipated, the speed pointer will drop but will not return to its zero position.

d. Set the speed pointer to the zero position by means of the C-adjustments. See Section 13A4.)

e. Position the valves and vent cocks to the zero position by turning the static maneuvering cock to the horizontal position as shown by the dotted lines in Figure 13-16. The above procedure may have to be repeated several times by alternately operating the static maneuvering cock and the static drain cock until the correct spring pressure balances out the diving error. Then tighten the setscrew in the compensating spring holder.

f. Install the cap on the lower end of the bellows assembly. For an example of the method used in adjusting for dive error, refer to Section 13E4.

13E4. Example of adjusting for dire error. (See Figure 13-15 and 13-16.) With the maneuvering cocks in zero position, and the

  pointer indicating zero knots, the submarine dives to 300 feet. If the pointer slowly rises and stops at 1 knot, the adjustment is made in the following manner:

a. Remove the chamber cap from the bottom of the bellows housing.

b. Loosen the setscrew securing the compensating spring holder.

c. Turn the screw holder clockwise (up), compressing the compensating spring until the log indicates 2 knots.

d. The static maneuvering cock (Figure 13-16) is closed and the static drain cock (Figure 13-16) is slowly and only partially opened. This reduces the pressure within the bellows chamber to the ship's atmosphere, and the pointer drops to 1.3 knots.

e. By means of the C-adjustment, the pointer is made to indicate zero knots.

f. The static drain cock is again closed, and the static maneuvering cock slowly opened. This increases the pressure within the bellows chamber to the water pressure of the sea. The pointer now rises to 0.6 knots.

g. The compensating spring is again compressed until the log indicates 1.2 knots.

h. The static maneuvering cock is closed and the static drain cock is slowly opened as before. The pointer drops to 0.7 knots. The pointer is made to read zero by means of the C-adjustment.

i. The static drain cock is again closed and the static maneuvering cock opened to the sea. The pointer rises to only 0.2 knots. If the cycle is repeated once more, the diving error, for all practical purposes, will have been eliminated.

j. If the log indications should become negative for increasing pressures, then the compensating spring is adjusted too tightly, and must be backed off.

k. After the spring holder has been set in the proper position, the setscrews are tightened, thus locking the spring holder against the dynamic bellows cap. Do not damage the threads by forcing the setscrews too tightly.

l. Replace the bellows chamber cap, being

 
144

sure to insert the caution plate and cap spacer between the cap and the bellows chamber.

13E5. Alternate method of adjusting for dive error. If a pressure pump is available, the bellows can be compensated when the ship is in port. The pump is connected to the

  static maneuvering cock. The maneuvering cocks are set in the zero position. The pressure should be checked by means of a pressure gage. A pressure of 150 pounds should be alternately applied and removed, while the adjustments described in Section 13E4 are being made.

13G8. Assembly of the speed transmitter. (See Figure 13-34.) Place the shims and bearing outer race in the rear end cap, with the flange on the race toward the end cap. Install the rear end cap on the stator shell by inserting the stator leads through the end cap, and secure the end cap to the stator shell with the four screws provided. Place the rear bearing dust guard on the rear end of the rotor shaft with the shoulder of the guard toward the end of the shaft. Install the rear bearing inner race and rear bearing on the rotor shaft. Place the rotor assembly into the stator shell, being careful not to damage the bearing as the shaft is inserted through the rear end cap. Place the shims and front bearing outer race in the front end cap, with the flange of the race toward the end cap. Install the front bearing dust guard on the shaft, with the shoulder of the guard facing the end of the shaft. Install the bearing inner race and the front bearing on the rotor shaft. Install the front end cap on the stator shell and secure with the four screws and lock washers provided. Turn the rotor shaft to make sure that the shaft is rotating freely. Install the gear on the front end of the shaft, and secure it with the handle screw and socket head setscrew. If a new rotor has been installed, it will be necessary to drill and tap a hole in the shaft for the gear screw. (See Section 13G9.) Place the lead insulating bushings over the stator leads, and insert the small end of the bushings into the holes provided in the rear end cap. Place the terminal block center and inner cover plates on the rear end cap, with the stator leads inserted through the holes provided in the inner cover plate. Hold the terminal block in position near the rear end cap, and insert the stator leads through the two holes provided nearest the outer circumference of the terminal block. Carefully spread the side contacts while installing the terminal block so that the contact springs will not be bent. Secure the terminal block to the rear end cap with the two screws and lock washers provided. Solder the terminal lugs on the end of the stator inner leads, and connect the inner lead terminals to the terminal plate located between the stator leads.   Place the speed transmitter in position on the main mounting plate, and temporarily install the clamps and clamp screws. Do not tighten the clamp screws at this time, as the motor will have to be shifted when setting it to electrical zero. Connect the rotor and stator leads to the terminal block in the same manner as described in Section 13F26. Set the speed transmitter to electrical zero. (See Section 13G10.)

13G9. Drill and tap rotor shaft. When a new rotor is installed in the self-synchronous speed transmitter, it is necessary to drill and tap a hole in the shaft for installation of the motor-driven gear. This operation is performed in the following manner: Locate the position of this hole by measuring the distance from the end of the shaft to the centerline of the hole on the old rotor shaft as shown in Figure 13-26. Locate the position of the hole on the new rotor shaft. Using a No. 29 drill, drill a hole through the shaft. Tap this hole for an 8-36 screw. Place the gear on the rotor shaft and secure it with a handle screw and socket head setscrew. Set the speed transmitter to electrical zero. (See Section 13G10.)

13G10. Setting the speed transmitter to electrical zero. Install the dial and pointer. (See Section 13G2.) The speed pointer should be set at zero on the dial. While the speed transmitter is temporarily installed on the main mounting plate, move the transmitter back so that the gear on the shaft is disengaged from the gear on the cam and bracket assembly. Use one of the speed and distance indicators (repeaters) as a checking instrument. Energize the system. Manually turn the speed transmitter gear until the pointer on the speed and distance repeater is indicating zero. Carefully push the speed transmitter forward until the gears are properly meshed. Any slight shifting of the speed and distance repeater pointer is compensated for by a slight rotation of the speed transmitter stator shell in the main mounting plate. When the pointer is at exact electrical zero, tighten the motor mounting clamps. Place the terminal block outer cover plate in position on the terminal block, and install the terminal block

13G43. Preparing the follower assembly for adjustment. (See Figure 13-47.) Prepare the follower assembly for adjustment after disassembly in the following manner: Adjust the follower tension spring so that there is a slight tension between the follower and the rotating disk. Unmesh the bevel gears by supporting the gear shaft of the component frame assembly and knocking out the tapered pin from the component frame upper bevel gear hub. Loosen the setscrew in the gear hub, and drop this gear from mesh with the follower lead screw gear. Remove the pin from the universal center so that the disk will rotate independently of the differential assembly.

13G44. Method of adjusting the follower to the center of the rotating disk. (See Figure 13-47.) Disengage the bevel gear on the component frame assembly from the lead screw bevel gear in the following manner: Manually move the main balance arm until the setscrew and tapered pin in the gear hub are accessible; then slip a piece of paper under the contact arm to maintain the position of the tapered pin and setscrew. Loosen the setscrew and drive out the tapered pin, and unmesh the gears. Be sure to support the shaft when driving out the tapered pin in order to prevent bending of the shaft. Move the lead screw gear until the follower runs in one direction; then turn the lead screw gear in the opposite direction until the follower just starts to run in the opposite direction. Manually move the lead screw first one way and then the opposite way until the follower will not rotate in either direction. This is an indication that the follower is in the center position of the rotating disk.

After positioning the follower in the center of the disk, carefully mesh the two beveled gears so that the lead screw gear is not moved from its position. Install the tapered pin and tighten the setscrew in the component frame upper gear. Connect the universal center by installing the pin in the universal joint and universal center. Energize the system, including at least one of the speed and distance indicators. Manually move the main balance arm to the right to raise the

  speed pointer to exactly 5 knots. Place a piece of paper between the contact arm and contacts so that a speed indication of exactly .5 knots is maintained. Measure the time required for the distance counter to register exactly V, mile on the speed and distance indicator. The time should be 6 minutes, plus or minus 3 seconds. If the error is greater than 10 seconds, it is an indication that the slipping clutch is not operating properly, or that the follower is off center position considerably. Test the slipping clutch for proper operation as described in Section 13G45. Adjust the follower to the center of the rotating disk as described above.

13G45. Testing and adjusting the slipping clutch. (See Figure 13-47.) Place a finger on the distance transmitter driven gear and slow down the transmitter. The rheostat brush arm should rotate in a counterclockwise direction. Removing the finger from the transmitter driven gear should cause the rheostat brush arm to rotate to its original position. If the differential spider is turning and the slipping clutch is slipping, indicated by the rheostat brush arm not turning, tighten the clutch spring adjuster in the following manner: Loosen the setscrew in the clutch spring adjuster and move the spring adjuster to the left to tighten the adjustment on the slipping clutch. Repeat the operation until the rheostat brush arm turns with the differential spider.

13G46. Adjusting the rheostat spring tension. (See Figure 13-47.) Another possible cause of a slipping clutch is that the spring in the rheostat is too tight. This causes the rheostat brush arm to stop turning when the differential spider is turning while the finger is slowing down the action of the transmitter driven gear. Adjust the rheostat spring tension as follows: Loosen the setscrew in the damper hub while holding the rheostat brush arm with the other hand. It is necessary to hold the left end of the rheostat shaft, while loosening the setscrew to prevent the spring from ejecting parts from within the rheostat. Carefully move the rheostat shaft assembly slightly to the left to loosen the spring

 
173

tension, then tighten the setscrew in the damper hub. Repeat this operation until the desired rheostat spring tension is obtained.

13G47. Checking the spider operation. (See Figure 13-47.) If the differential spider does not turn when the transmitter driven gear is slowed down, it is an indication that the follower tension spring is not adjusted properly. Tighten the follower spring, and observe the operation of the differential spider.

13G48. Checking the follower tension. (See Figure 13-47.) After checking the slipping clutch tension, and the rheostat spring adjustment, check the follower spring tension as follows: Place a finger on the driven gear of the distance transmitter, and stall the distance transmitter. If the follower tension is correct, the follower will drive the differential spider, the spider will turn the rheostat brush arm to its limit of travel, and the clutch will slip,

13G49. Final checks of the follower, differential, and rheostat assemblies. (See Figure 13-47.) After checking the operation of the follower, slipping clutch, and rheostat as described above, check the timing on the distance counter of the speed and distance indicator as described in 13044. If the measured time exceeds the tolerance of plus or minus 3 seconds, it is a positive indication that the central position of the follower on the rotating disk is incorrect. Check the follower as follows: Remove the note paper from the contacts, and return the pointer to the zero position. Unmesh the component frame upper gear as follows: Manually move the main balance arm until the setscrew and tapered pin are accessible; then slip the note paper under the contact arm to maintain the position of the pin and setscrew. Be certain to support the shaft when driving out the taper pin in order to prevent bending of the shaft. Carefully turn the follower lead screw toward the person facing the instrument, one bevel gear tooth for each 3 seconds or less that the measured time exceeds the 6 minutes for 1/2-mile. Turn the lead screw in the opposite direction in the same manner for every 3 seconds or less below the measured 6 minutes

  for the 1/2-mile indication. Carefully mesh the bevel gears at the right of the follower assembly, and tighten the setscrew in the component frame upper gear. Do not install the tapered pin at this time. Move the main balance arm until the lead screws turn to make the large end of the tapered pin hole accessible, then loosen the setscrew and install the tapered pin through the gear hub and the lead screw. Tighten the setscrew after the tapered pin is installed. Make the distance check described in Section 13G44. Then set the speed pointer at 20 knots, and repeat the time and distance check. The time elapsed. should be 6 minutes plus or minus 3 seconds for 2 miles distance indicated on the distance counter.

13G50. Removing the rheostat. (See Figure 13-48.) The 500-ohm rheostat is replaced as a unit. Remove the four screws and lock washers that secure the rheostat bracket to the main mounting plate, and lift the rheostat away from the mounting plate. Unsolder and tag the electrical leads. Loosen the setscrew in the damper hub while holding the rheostat shaft in position in the rheostat. It is necessary to hold the shaft in position to prevent the rheostat spring from ejecting parts from the rheostat. Remove the damper hub, spring, and frame assembly from the rheostat shaft. Remove the nut and toothed lock washer that secure the rheostat to the bracket, and remove the rheostat.

13G51. Installing the rheostat. (See Figure 13-48.) Carefully remove the lock washer from the shaft of the new rheostat while holding the shaft in position within the rheostat. This is necessary to prevent the internal parts from becoming lost when the washer is removed. Remove the nut and toothed lock washer from the replacement rheostat. Place the rheostat in its bracket and secure it with the toothed lock washer and nut provided. Align the damper hub of the damper spring and frame assembly with the flat-on end of the rheostat shaft, and tighten the setscrew in the damper hub. Place the rheostat and bracket in position on the main mounting plate, and secure them with the four screws
