[Phono-L] Wide Columbia belts and more

[Greg Bogantz]

The brass sliding sleeve is part of the telescoping drive shaft that turns 
the amber wheel.  There are three sections to this driveshaft and when the 
reproducer is at the extreme start of the record, the brass section sticks 
out of the left side of the support casting.  But when the reproducer has 
extended all the way to the opposite end of the long mandrel, the brass 
section is pulled with it as the driveshaft extends.
