| Abstract | An improved escapement for recording clocks is described and pictured. This piece of intricate equipment is designed for field replacement by the hydrographer when visiting stream or other measuring devices in remote places. The new escapement is mounted on a solid brass plate to insert in the standard clocks. On this plate is mounted the balance wheel with the Elinvar hair spring and its regulating lever, the double roller and shaft and escapement shaft. The base plate is keyed into position and held in place by counter sunk oil reservoirs; all built to precision of fine watch making. The unit is packaged in a small dust proof case. They will run for 2 years without cleaning. |
