Hi all

Under the principle of parsimony, enunciated by Ockham, everything is easier than it seems.

Indeed, the horizontal spring plays a big function. After having fired the first time, turning backwards nut, engages the horizontal spring, bringing the bread backwards, and release it when the bread has reached its maximum position. The spring then becomes inactive, allowing the second shot.

When the sequence, to take the first pan forward, the spring does not engage with the nut, it is above, and when the hammer reaches full-cock the bread remains in place starts. Only when the nut (hammer) starts its way back, engages the spring, moving the upper bread.

Dana is so?

Never before, sorry for the translator
