Using the sub scale to set QNH or QFE only rotates the movement inside the case thus setting the position of the needles against the fixed card, the capsule stack is not changed at all it rotates with the movement as the base of the stack is fixed to the movement and theoutput comes off the top of the stack via the rocker shaft to move the pointers as the capsule stack expands with decreasing atmospheric pressure .
