Governor for a fireside phonograph does it need two set screws?

[nippers_lounge]

I noticed that the governor on my fireside phonograph has two brass collars . The middle collar has a set screw but the collar on the right does not, however there appears to be a hole for screw? I was told on the Talking Machine Forum that i don’t need a second screw? What doesn’t make sense is why would a second hole be drilled in the collar but not need a screw?

Just a conjecture here, since I'm not familiar with this type of machine, but isn't that collar with the hole supposed to slide up the shaft (i.e, from right to left in the photo) when the governor is spinning? If that's indeed the case, it may be an oiling hole. Also, the hole is not countersunk or threaded, as far as I can tell, so it is doubtless not intended to hold a screw.

As Henry notes, with a set screw the governor balls could not expand or retract to control the speed. The collar MUST be able to slide along the shaft. The hole could be for oil, or more likely it's simply a recycled Edison part put to a new use, with zero concern about an unnecessary hole. Edison didn't like to waste material so such anomalies are not uncommon.

I should note, this governor is not original to this machine. When I bought this machine from an antique mall. It was missing a few parts, i.e. the governor. I bought this one off of eBay.  Ok, so an oil hole would make sense.

A fellow fireside owner said my governor was fine, until the spring on the shaft got bent, but I thought it was supposed to be like that?
