  1. Cole's Resileint Escapement
  2. Pallets bank against the sloping face of
  3. escape teeth, so that there is no theoretical
  4. need for banking pins. Cole's purpose was
  5. apparently to acheive springy banking action,
  6. for if pushed by an over-active balance
  7. wheel, the banked lever can force the
  8. escape wheel backward. Howeve, a convenient
  9. side-effect was to accurately control the
  10. engagement of pallets into the escape wheel.
