Serial Number 1405242 was reported as inaccurate.

Note: Movement is only marked "Adjusted", so may only be
1-3 positions instead of the 5 positions currently
noted. Other information listed is correct.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. Many of the movements produced during this era were not marked with the number of positional adjustments. Many of the advertisements ambiguously described the grade as being adjusted to positions. Later advertisements explicitly indicate five positional adjustments.
