The deadbeat escapement has two faces to the pallets: a "locking", or "dead", face, with a curved surface concentric with the axis on which the anchor rotates, and a sloping "impulse" face. [8] When an escape wheel tooth is resting against one of the dead faces, its force is directed through the anchor's pivot axis, so it gives no impulse to ...

Deadbeat escapement [37] diagram showing escape wheel (a), pallets (b), and pendulum crutch (c) The Graham or deadbeat escapement was an improvement of the anchor escapement first made by Thomas Tompion to a design by Richard Towneley in 1675, [38] [39] [40] although it is often credited to Tompion's successor George Graham who popularized it ...
The deadbeat escapement, introduced by Graham about the same time, solved this problem, and was probably a much more accurate escapement. --Chetvorno TALK 21:18, 27 June 2008 (UTC) Actually this is not correct. The graham impulses only when it releases, the rest of the time the scape wheel teeth are scraping on the pallets.

An escapement is the mechanism in a mechanical clock that gives the pendulum precise impulses to keep it swinging, and allows the gear train to advance a set amount with each pendulum swing, moving the clock hands forward at a steady rate. The Riefler escapement was an improvement of the deadbeat escapement, the previous standard for precision ...
Deadbeat, deadbeats or dead-beat may refer to: Deadbeat escapement , a type of escapement used in pendulum clocks Dead-beat control , a problem in discrete control theory of finding an optimal input sequence that will bring the system output to a given setpoint in a finite number of time steps
They kept time by using the verge escapement to drive a foliot, a primitive type of balance wheel. [11] The foliot was a horizontal bar with weights near its ends affixed to a vertical bar called the verge which was suspended free to rotate. The verge escapement caused the foliot to oscillate back and forth about its vertical axis. [12]
