No, the one securing the cage that can't be seen on this photo. It loosens the cage on its arm so that it can be slid laterally. Move it inwards until it just clears the chain on small ring/big sprocket and retighten the bolt. Then adjust the throw with the sprung screw on top of the body.
The screw head top left of the body secures the pivot for the internal arm that provides the throw.

That pics an early gran Sport changer?

No, it's a Valentino. Similar but the Valentino has the 'boss' around the shaft exit hole and the cage grub screw is at the front rather than the top. Also quite a few years more modern!Spokesmann":1qvcqmmm said:
You see people fitting them to 50's bikes when they should have Gran Sport ones instead. Perhaps they don't know the difference.
Right the mech is all sorted just as you guys said, thanks for that.
Bikenut also supplied me with a Valentino rear so now it has a matching gearset and 1st gear can be accessed without the mech rubbing on the sprockets now too.
This is the bike that I was working on:
