I have always wondered how this device was implemented.

I know about these things, but in reality I really don't know anything about things. To see the micro engineering of ancient technology still in use is amazing.
Thanks for breaking it down Jocke.

Wow, thanks! I love learning this stuff. So, these screws are only adjusted a few degrees one direction or the other, rarely (or never) even as much as 1/4 turn, yes?
