I too have never seen a set up like that, like Ted mentioned, there is a problem with where you have the control horn and it looks like the control rod isn't the correct size?? Looks a bit on the short side?? The term play is sort of a mystery, play would be what we used to call slop, like when the holes in the horns start to wobble out a bit you get a little slop or play in the controls. Joe mentioned the metal gears lash, he is correct but it is very small, you would notice the slop in the over size holes in the horns more?? Slop, I like that term!!
