Very nice Christmas present and pick up Gary, the Peoria's are a great watch and few and far between when looking for them
We are collecting details on these for our database. A lot of miss information about their preceding history and the associated Companies.
Could you advise if the micro adjusting disc has serrations only part way around. Also, how many locating pin and screw ends are visible near and under the balance wheel on the back plate?

Bila; Acc to the Peoria Book about 40 or so Standard Anti Magnetics were fitted with the FRRS dial, maybe going to AT & SF for railroad use? Info is sketchy on these...be nice to have someone get a more detailed database of them...Good Luck!
Interesting Tom, I have that book here and I wonder if you might have misconstrued the way the data reporting has been laid out in the book?
Anything is possible, but that does not gel with what I have read from it, and what I have seen with the numbers over and above whats in the book that I have correlated during my own research.
When I get some more info correlated I will be dispelling some of the myths around the Identification and the miss-information out there of the Company's that are intertwined also.
As you say the "Info is sketchy on these", for me I would say "Very Sketchy
