Note: Compared to the example image, the movement is
the same. On the Barrel Bridge, the center jewel
is held with three screws on mine, and at the
lower approximately 5.30 position on the Barrel
Bridge, there are only two screws, as opposed to
three in the example image. I could send a picture
if you like
