I do not think the model 1892 P.S. Bartlett or Royal grades were. I believe the Bartlett was only adjusted to temperature.

Vanguard, Crescent Street, 845, C.P.R., Canadian Pacific Railway,CRTS,Penn Spl.,Riverside, Roadmaster and Royal are all adjusted to 5 positions. However not all are RR approved. Of the above only Vanguard, Crescent Street, 845, C.P.R., Canadian Pacific Railway,CRTS,Penn Spl.Where approved.

Bruce some model 1892 named movements were adjusted to 3 (or fewer) positions. The ones I know of (Roy Ehrhardt's book) including;
Appleton Tracy & Co.
Riverside (not marked 5 position)
"Railroader" (3 positions)
"Non-Magnetic" (15J & 17J)
PS Bartlett (not marked)

the ones adjusted to 3 positions would have been "gap" RR units. There were many large RR systems that would allowed a3p up into the 20's. Most in the mid to later 1890's were a3p then as the move to a universal guaranteed to be accepted (5 positions)by any railroad came about after the turn of the century in the years close to 1910 and later.
