 I did consider the ball bearing under the centre tappet retaining screw, but this is gigantic in comparison to the screws securing the dial on a Chronometric Speedometer.....There should be two! Reg nailed those. Other small thread and associated electrical components are substantially bigger.

The small brass washer which goes between the spring and moving point on the brass contact assembly?

The small screw which fixes the spring to the body of the contact assembly, you know the one which gets catapulted across the workshop never to be seen again when you dismantle?

Against all odds, I recognized this flinging possibility just before releasing the points spring and saved that frustration.

For circlips, and so forth, over here, referred to as “Jesus Clips,” for the exclamation when they fling.
