What life can be expected from a long-case
clock if the pinions are made from unhardened

Hi folks,  just wondering what the best (and cheapest)
method/product for aircraft natural metal finish is?

In my search for pinout identification of a couple of Braemar tape
readers kindly lent by P Forbes a very nice chappie in Denmark has sent

NEE in 1984.So if anyone is stuck....It`s a 21meg pdf.
