(rather hard) and the adjustment procedure was
something like "turn the
screw to advance the head to the drum surface until you hear a squeal,
then back it off a bit." The heads were rather simple devices with a
single screw that drove the head to/from the media surface.
That sounds like the procedure for fitting a new CRT : Tighten the clamp
until the CRT implodes, then back off 1/4 of a turn.
