Setting up count wheel striking

Hello, I have stripped, cleaned, and pegged a Sessions movement with countwheel striking. The going train now works fine, and the strike train and levers are all assembled, but I can't remember how to set up the countwheel warning, lifting, etc.

Can anyone direct me to a resource or give me a hint?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Tim

after the hammer has dropped the stop lever should drop into the slot on inner wheel. the warning should be set at about half a turn.

Ticktock you should ask in a fresh post for a better exposure but if you reading this the warning wheel next to the flywheel is stooped by a lever sticking through the hole in the front plate.
as the minute wheel turns it raises the lifting lever and the wheel goes about half a turn to the other lever and when the minute hand reaches the 12 the lever drops releasing the train. the countwheel on the back can be positioned in four places to accommodate adjusted and correct counting of the hours.
