@pennyf9 On most of these, the speaker is mounted to the bottom or back of the case facing outward, making the sound project well. Clocks with internal speakers don't sound nearly as good.
@veritasottawa It is a recoil escapement. Deadbeat and half-deadbeat (or semi-deadbeat) escapements have separate locking and impulse faces. This escapement has only one face on each pallet.
This is exactly the kind of thing I would not quite grasp without something like a video. I'm a very visual person. This will certainly help the next time I need to make any verge adjustments.
