It is quite possible to have the leading edge of the rotor in line with the post initally and then have the trailing edge of the post in line at full advance. That is why the brass strip is fairly wide.

In practice this is quite time consuming to get right and I may have even got what I said back to front! It was ages ago when I did all this.
Now he tells us... :?
