- The pallet D is locked on escape wheel tooth.
- The balance A is turning counter clockwise
- near the end of its excursion. A slight
- further motion puts a straain on the outer
- pinning of the hairspring B which through
- the lever unlocks the pallet D and throws
- pallet R to depth of incline. The escape
- wheel is kept from going too fast by the
- fly H geared to touthed wheel G fastened
- on escape wheel arbor. In turn the pallet
- D similarly gives reverse impulse to balance
- through lever and hairspring.
