Felicidades me gusta pero unas preguntas ¿como calculas la cantidad de dientes del trinquete?, ¿porqué esa forma de dientes?, las piezas que bloquean al trinquete?, ¿el largo y peso del pendulo? y su frecuencia, me llama la atención saber estos cálculos para obtener los segundos y si varian ¿cómo hacer para mantener esa frecuencia de segundos? saludos desde VENEZUELA. Feliz Año Nuevo 2011.
The shape of the pallets give it a slight recoil. This can be seen by the recoil that occurs when an escape wheel tooth goes very deep in to the exit pallet. It is a "semi-deadbeat" because it is an economical version of a true deadbeat escapement.
@Clockhistory I assume it was originally designed with the intention of being a true dead-beat, the slight recoil therefore being caused if the driving force is slightly too strong, causing the escape wheel teeth to pass further than the circular section of the pallet face. I have an identical escapement in a Philip Haas 30 hour striking clock. I believe most 31 day Korean clock movements also use this type of pallets, but inside the plates.

That is sure one interesting escapement wheel, and the clicking sound is very much like a car's turn signal sound.

This should be a fully dead-beat escapement. If there is any recoil, it could indicate wear on the pallet surface.

Seth Thomas wasn't the only company to use this escapement.

I collect antique and older clocks because I really like the ticking sound and love the chime sounds from the chiming clocks.
