Wanted: Brother JP-3 service manual regarding escapement settings

I have a Montgomery Ward Signature 513(JP-3) that I am attempting to fix the escapement.  This has 3 eccentric screw settings, 2 in on the front plate and 1 in the rear that is unable to be accessed unless the whole escapement is removed.  Would love to know what sequence and settings that a manual might offer as this is one of the most frustrating tasks that I have encountered.  The carriage either runs free or is totally locked...can't find a happy medium.  All parts appear ok as there is no evidence of missing or broken parts.  I have been playing with this for weeks and am not getting anywhere.  I got this through SGW so don't know its history.  Hint:  When I received the typewriter the drawband was not attached.  So, if anyone could share the escapement chapter of the manual, that would be greatly appreciated.

Glad to see you got some replies from Ted Munk over in the FaceBook group.  Let us know how you resolve this.

Ted Munk was immensely helpful with the escapement manual pages.  The culprit was a misaligned Pawl lever and a lot of bad settings with the adjustment screws. It took several hours but I got it working fine.  After I address a few more minor issues, I think I will have a decent typer.
