Was it any help and did it answer your question?

Yes It did. Unfortunately (for me) I was attempting to calculate the drill size for those tiny little carbon steel taps. I didn’t know that those are set up a little differently than what I was used to.
Thanks!

Just to follow up on an old post:
Unfortunately, I couldn’t find a hair spring for this watch so I relegated it to parts. Not long ago another watch (also not functioning) came up on eBay for $40.00. As it turns out, all it needed was a new hairspring and a good cleaning, oiling, and timing.
Here are a few pictures… (before)

Here’s a shot of the timing machine display after adjusting. (yeah… I finally broke down and purchased one)
