I have an 8x12 Ben Franklin Gordon made in Palmyra, NY. The Redington counter is attached midway on the arm from the small cam to the roller arm on the throwoff side. The arm is approximately 18” long. It’s a matter of moving the counter front to back (trial and error) till you’re in the correct position. If you don’t have a throwoff, your counter will not function. I’ve seen an old-timer lock up a numbering machine away from the form to function as a counter.
