The tailpiece attaches to a round fitting which is part of the Jackson-Lister Limb. The round fitting allows the tail to swing right or left.
The gimbal of the mirror housing attaches to the tailpiece with a screw that penetrates a slot in the tailpiece in which the gimbaled mirror can ride up or down, this adjustment facilitated by knurled knobs on either side.
