The thumb screw slightly changes the motor pully pitch. That is all it does.The effect on speed is minimal!
Mostly on the 33 speed the pulley is slightly larger in the 'middle' (very slightly) of the belt path.
Turning the knurled nut it changes the pitch of the pully causing the belt to seek a slight different path. This will allow the belt to gravatate to the change in diameter.
KEEP IN MIND that this difference is MINUTE!
All 398's and 498's and early 598's were THREE speed. (33/45/78)
Later 598's and all 698's are TWO speed only. (33/45)

Darrell
