A mistake can occur when you are doing something for the first time with no instruction manual or schematic showing all parts. One mistake turned out ok but only by sheer good luck and a 112 years of grunge. I had removed the ejectors and was cleaning the pathway. Grunge was in tight places and was not cooperating. I gave the area a good dose of brake cleaner. Held the barrels over a garbage can while doing that. Back to the work bench to tackle the area with the ever present toothpicks. The grunge was now losing its grip. I noticed what I thought might have been a bit of chaffe flip out of the channel I was working on. I thought that could have been interfering with the ejector rod travel. I picked at it a bit and it was not chaffe. It was a tiny flat spring that exerts a bit of upward pressure on the rods as they slide in and out. The universe was looking out for me on that part.
