The semi-deadbeat escapement of the Seth Thomas No. 89C movement. (from an Adamantine mantel clock). The time mainspring is run down 6 1/2 days for this movie, notice that the escapement takes a good, but not excessive motion. This example has a thin time mainspring of 0.016 inches. Stronger springs cause the escapement motion to be more than necessary, and cause excessive wear.
