Alignment does align the dial position to the correct frequencies but it also ensures the IF, intermediate frequency, signal is maximized. I still struggle to get the alignment done on some sets but here is a handy book to have a copy of, Alignment of Philco Receivers. There is introductory text explaining the process and details for early Philcos. 37-10 is on p. 22. If you get the Philco information for the 37-10 from Chuck Schwark, I expect it will have more details on the alignment for your set as well.
