Your dial is rotating at half the speed (relative to the lead screw) as
a 16 tooth dial. Does that mean that your dial has twice as many marks?
There are 4 marks on my Logan dial: "1" & "2" 180 degrees apart and a
"|" between them.

PS, how did you make out with the backgears? Did you get that
all straightened out?

The bushings on the spindle pulley were badly scored, so I replaced
them. Of course, they were not a standard size, so I had to turn them to
fit (Catch 22 - I needed a lathe to fix my lathe). Boring them out
wasn't a big deal, but one of them had a *taper* on the OD!

Re-assembling it was a lot easier after boring out the bull gear a
smidgen. After it was all assembled and I added oil to the reservoirs I
discovered that the inboard seal on the outboard bearing was bad
(leaked). It would have been easy to replace, but I'm not going to take
it apart again just for that seal. I'll just keep adding oil.
