The Pin-Pallet Escapement, Adjustment and Repair

The Pin-Pallet Escapement is a 52-page complete description and easy-to-understand technical analysis and repair that will show you step-by-step how to check and adjust the Brocot-type pin-pallet escapement as used by Ansonia, Gilbert, Seth Thomas, and many other American and European clock manufacturers.

Large, clear drawings illustrate, for example, how to check and put the escapement in beat, how to check and adjust center distance, and how to check and adjust span.
