Note: Info is correct, but picture of movement shows a
single screw holding the winding gear to the
mainspring barrel. Mine has three screws and a
brass bearing holding it.

Curator Response: Excellent eye. The current image is just the model representation published in the Elgin Material Catalogs. As a result, some features may not be present when compared to certain grades. The Grade 224 features a safety barrel, which is characterized by three screws on the barrel arbor.
