Colt 1878 revolver action diagrams

Can anybody point me to some diagrams showing how the 1878 action works, especially the trigger and trigger "saddle"? All I've found so far are exploded diagrams,which don't show how the parts interact.

Remember the big screw is a LEFT HAND THREAD. It took reading the book to learn this. Just sayin'
