Does it work if you lower the arm when it is about half way through the disk so that you have to move the adaptor to the right to start playing the record and by the time the record is over, would the arm be to the inside and the adaptor almost all the way over to the inside?

Its case is nickel plated & on the back it says in letters "EDISON" in smaller letters it says"Orange, N.J.," & "Made in U.S.A." There is also a facsimile of Edison's famous signature. On the front there is a large script "E" on the diaphragm cover over the stylus bar & a cut out ligthtening bolt cut on either side. On a twelve inch 78, when I lower the horn to engage the feed gear in the far right position by the time the record has played the horn has swung to the left & the tracking is absolutely terrible. Does anyone have instructions put out by the Edison company for using this attachment when was obviously manufactured by them & probably included with the Edison models? Thanks. All good wishes...
