The recent interesting thread on Stanley hand drills reminded me of this Record one that I bought very cheaply. It seemed OK but would jam occasionally. I found that this was caused by the wheel being able to move too far away from the pinions on its "axle". I supposed that some sort of washer was missing but I couldn't find a way to remove the "axle" to fit a new washer. The fix I found was to fit a brass plate as shown in the photos. The drill works perfectly now.

That's a great little fix, nice work.

I had to add just one more washer to remove all slack in the mechanism:
