Another EQ5 Question

I'm a bit baffled by these scales on the rear of my EQ5, The wide one marked 0 - 24 hours with the vernier scale doesn't move with the RA shaft its held to the mount casting by the small locking screw which goes through a hole in the extended scale carrier (inside the casting). The one on the end is 0 -12 and is tied to the RA shaft but is movable by hand. Now, the first mention scale doesn't appear to do anything, or is there something missing from the mount ? Its confusing the hell out of me while trying to check the drive speed. Shown are the assembled scales, the only removable parts and the bare shaft.
