You say it is NOT railroad grade. I believe it
is.
Curator Response: Thanks for the report. With grade descriptions indicating this movement was either adjusted to three positions or simply adjusted to temperature, it would not have qualified for railroad service. However, if it was distributed by a time inspector, it is possible the required adjustments were completed post-factory.
