2. Escapement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escapement

   Animation of anchor escapement, widely used in pendulum clocks. An escapement is a mechanical linkage in mechanical watches and clocks that gives impulses to the timekeeping element and periodically releases the gear train to move forward, advancing the clock's hands.

3. Clock domain crossing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clock_domain_crossing

   Different clock domains have clocks which have a different frequency, a different phase (due to either differing clock latency or a different clock source), or both. [3] Either way the relationship between the clock edges in the two domains cannot be relied upon.

4. Pendulum clock - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pendulum_clock

   Also called torsion-spring pendulum, this is a wheel-like mass (most often four spheres on cross spokes) suspended from a vertical strip (ribbon) of spring steel, used as the regulating mechanism in torsion pendulum clocks. Rotation of the mass winds and unwinds the suspension spring, with the energy impulse applied to the top of the spring.

5. Clockwork - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clockwork

   Keys of various sizes for winding up mainsprings on clocks Mechanism of a Wall Clock, Ansonia Co. 1904. The stored amounts of energy used by a given piece during its operation is often housed within it; this frequently happens via a winding device that applies mechanical stress to an energy-storage mechanism such as a mainspring, thus involving some form of escapement.

Nicolas Urseau (1531–1568), French clockmaker, London, clockmaker of the court from Edward VI of England to Elizabeth I of England.
