Thanks Ken.
Yes - I was going to put an arrow to point to the screw in Photoshop but then I forgot. I thought that the projection was to keep the reverse trip ball lever level but the hole in the lever is too small. I looked online and saw that the corresponding part on the Bridgeport's (N° 69) do not have the projection. As the screw goes in crooked, I had to face a little off the end, otherwise it bit into the plunger and prevented the plunger and the micrometer screw from moving. Honestly, I think the screw is simply there to keep crap from getting into the hole.
The poorly feed trip lever was a new part from Kondia, as the original one was missing. There are a number of parts that I could have made if I had the original part for comparison. However, so much was missing that I couldn't do anything but order new. There were exceptions like handles and fasteners etc.
The pics I was referring to were those we took when repairing the worm feed shaft.
