  The 
  object 
  is 
  to 
  provide 
  for 
  adjustment 
  of 
  the 
  bearings, 
  so 
  that 
  wear 
  

   can 
  be 
  readily 
  compensated, 
  and 
  to 
  this 
  end 
  screw-pivots 
  are 
  provided. 
  

   The 
  reel 
  is 
  sustained 
  by 
  pivot-screws 
  tapped 
  through 
  the 
  outer 
  end- 
  

   plate 
  and 
  the 
  cap-plate, 
  and 
  having 
  conical 
  ends 
  entering 
  recesses 
  of 
  

   the 
  same 
  form 
  in 
  the 
  ends 
  of 
  the 
  axis, 
  so 
  that 
  by 
  turning 
  the 
  screws 
  in 
  

   and 
  out 
  the 
  reel 
  can 
  be 
  positioned 
  and 
  adjusted. 
  The 
  arbor 
  of 
  the 
  crank- 
  

   pinion 
  has 
  a 
  bearing 
  at 
  one 
  end 
  in 
  the 
  inner 
  end 
  -plate, 
  or 
  the 
  end-plate 
  

   adjacent 
  to 
  the 
  cap-plate, 
  and 
  at 
  the 
  other 
  end 
  is 
  sustained 
  by 
  a 
  screw- 
  

   sleeve 
  fitted 
  in 
  the 
  cap-plate. 
  The 
  arbor 
  lias 
  a 
  beveled 
  portion 
  within 
  

   the 
  sleeve, 
  and 
  the 
  sleeve 
  is 
  correspondingly 
  beveled 
  at 
  its 
  outer 
  end, 
  

   so 
  that 
  by 
  endwise 
  adjustment 
  of 
  the 
  sleeve 
  the 
  arbor 
  is 
  set 
  to 
  run 
  

   smoothly 
  without 
  endwise 
  motion. 
  An 
  outer 
  sleeve 
  screwed 
  on 
  the 
  first 
  

   sleeve- 
  and 
  against 
  the 
  cap-plate, 
  serves 
  as 
  a 
  set-nut 
  and 
  gives 
  a 
  finished 
  

   appearance. 
  The 
  pivot-screws 
  for 
  the 
  reel 
  are 
  covered 
  by 
  screw-caps, 
  

   which 
  serve 
  as 
  set-nuts 
  and 
  protect 
  the 
  projecting 
  screws.

  The 
  multiplying 
  gear 
  and 
  an 
  alarm-bell 
  are 
  inclosed 
  in 
  a 
  cap 
  on 
  the 
  

   crank 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  fishing 
  reel. 
  A 
  sleeve 
  upon 
  the 
  outer 
  plate 
  of 
  the 
  cap 
  

   scives 
  as 
  the 
  sole 
  bearing 
  of 
  the 
  crank-shaft, 
  thereby 
  allowing 
  this 
  

   shaft 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  line 
  with 
  the 
  spool-shaft 
  without 
  being 
  directly 
  connected 
  

   therewith. 
  A 
  large 
  gear-wheel 
  on 
  the 
  inner 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  crank-shaft 
  

   meshes 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  pinion 
  fixed 
  upon 
  a 
  counter-shaft 
  upon, 
  the 
  other 
  

   end 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  a 
  larger 
  gear-wheel, 
  which, 
  in 
  turn, 
  meshes 
  with 
  a 
  small 
  

   gear-wheel 
  upon 
  the 
  spool-shaft. 
  The 
  multiplying 
  gear 
  increases 
  the
