  3. Anchor escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchor_escapement

    The escapement is a mechanism in a mechanical clock that maintains the swing of the pendulum by giving it a small push each swing, and allows the clock's wheels to advance a fixed amount with each swing, moving the clock's hands forward. The anchor escapement was so named because one of its principal parts is shaped vaguely like a ship's anchor.

  4. Riefler escapement - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Riefler_escapement

    The Riefler escapement is a mechanical escapement for precision pendulum clocks invented and patented [1] by German instrument maker Sigmund Riefler in 1889. [2] It was used in the astronomical regulator clocks made by his German firm Clemens Riefler from 1890 to 1965, [3] which were perhaps the most accurate all-mechanical pendulum clocks made.

    If the impulse is evenly distributed then it gives energy to the pendulum without changing the time of its swing. [31] The pendulum's period depends slightly on the size of the swing. If the amplitude changes from 4° to 3°, the period of the pendulum will decrease by about 0.013 percent, which translates into a gain of about 12 seconds per day.

    The primary and secondary pendulums were linked together in a feedback loop which kept the secondary synchronized with the primary. [1] [14] The secondary clock had a mechanical escapement using a 15 tooth count wheel which was moved forward each right-hand pendulum swing by a pawl attached to the pendulum.

    He is also credited with the invention of the celatone (a type of telescope) and the geometric and military compass. [3] Galileo's escapement was the earliest design of a pendulum clock. Since Galileo was by then blind, he described the device to his son Vincenzio, who drew a sketch of it. The son began construction of a prototype, but both he ...
