Antique Brunswick Carom Pocket Inserts

I picked up a set of Brunswick Carom inserts from the late 1800s - early 1900s. Unfortunately, the seller stuck them in a box with no protection and 2 of the brackets broke so I will probably be returning them. But, as long as I have them, does anyone know how they actually install? Am I missing any parts? The pictures are on a Bruswick Manhattan but the rails are Adlers from the 1970s. I do have a Brunswick Southern from the same era with almost original rails (1/4" veneer over face). It's in peices. I'm temped to pull out the rails and see if these fit any differently.

I just can't figure how these would tighten in place.

Thanks

How Often Can You Run This?

Come to my thread and do the 6 pointed star with me. I'll try this exact layout next practice session. This should be easier than the 6 pointed star because the balls are a ball off the rail, which opens up a lot of options if the CB gets on the rail.

However, this particular ball placement is much harder than any of the placements in the 6 pointed star (even with the balls off the rails like in your picture).

Caiden tip and product review

I just had a fighter installed in my Whyte Carbon and I feel like I’m having a few problems with it also. I’ve only played a few hours with it but had to shape and scuff a few times. It seemed to not want to hold chalk at first and I had quite a few miscues.
I tried many tips before trying the Bulletproof Recoil tip, the Hard(green) is a very hard tip, the Medium(Red) I haven't tried, if you are thinking about trying one give them a shot, I'm really happy with mine and have them on both of my shafts, they hold chalk great and play consistent tip to tip.
