Club Footed Escapement

[John T]

Hi Art,
This topic was brought up a couple of years ago and you mentioned that you would put in on the famous "list".

Any chance of seeing this revived?  I think its a great escapement and best of all can be built really easily adjustable.

  It had slipped its way off my list.. let me investigate to see how bad it'd be to implment..

John:

  Any chance you have a link to the finer points of the design of one? What Ive found looks much like
the normal lever, ( slight differences..), but nothing thats very specific as to how to make one...

This discusses the construction of a club tooth escapement in some detail.  I'm not sure that's the same as a club foot.

Thanks Nate:

  I had that one and had forgotten the club footed was in there. Im looking at adding this, its a bit more complex than
previous escapements, and may be harder to make for many. but it is a nice stable kind of mechanism. Looks interesting.
Ill see if my current level of stress management can handle simulating  another escapement. :)
