You may find that the concept of master oscillators in clocks
to be "a leap beyond" the credible, but that's an OU degree (6
'O' Levels at best) and an M3/CB licence for you.

Your calculations put Brian at least 12 'O' Levels ahead of you. Is that why
you're so jealous of him that you have to use sock puppet anagrams of his
name? Do yourself a favour, get some psychiatric help if it's not too late.

WRONG! The ageing problem when NOT using pallet
stones is wear on the pallets themselves, a problem in the
two clocks that I have restored recently. The NEGATIVE NERDS
who seem to be my cataloguers will tell you what they were.

Hence it is better to use pallet stones than not at all, and so
my query for a source of them.

WRONG! Your comments relating to loss of accuracy are
WRONG in your assumption because I am considerng the
use of a gravity escapement.

"own crystals in order to reduce ageing" The "crystals" used in the
pallet
of an escapement are using usually synthethtic ruby and, while the
changing
of their profile can contribute to a loss of accuracy, the 'ageing
problem'
is wear on the escape wheel and, while this is related to the 'cut' of the
pallet stones, other aspects of the system accuracy determine the various
profiles in this area (in particular the need for the escape lever to
provide the impetus to the 'balance' wheel).

The underlying problem is the same. Whatever the oscillating element
(balance wheel, pendulum etc) there is a problem with maintaining the
oscillation (by an impetus from the spring or weights via the drive chain)
and using energy from the oscillating element to release the escapement.

The former can be affected by spring tension (hence the use of the fusee in
older watches, automatic winding in newer ones, and even the relative
success of the cylinder escapement) and the search over many years to
maximise the free swing portion of the oscillation (ie minimising the energy
taken from the oscillating element to release the escapement.

You are certainly the equal of the other CBers in the NEGATIVE
NERDS.....childish, sneering, and consistently technically in error.

You sneered recently at my technical proposal to address the
deficiencies in the offered explanations for sampling in DSP
systems, "Big K", but when I challenged you, you
were quite unable to debate the point.....ever had
an M3/CB licence or an OU degree?

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!

No you were just trying to start another thread where you didn't
understand the topic. Having realised your error you are now trying to
divert the thread- as it happens into an area where your knowledge seems
equally challenged.

WRONG! once again. The mechanism is NOT on the balance wheel, 'cos
there won't be one, and neither will there be a balance spring - a little
knowledge is dangerous, and the combination of an OU degree
(6 'O' levels at best) and M3/CB licence show your knowledge
and understanding up for what they are worth.

Do all your pronouncements result from 5 minutes on the Web?

The temperature compensation I am considering is John "Longitude"
Harrison's Grid Iron.

Tempatrimmer? All part of the joke, but I doubt that your apparent
emotional imbalance demonstrated by your sneering tirade gives
you any scope to recognise humour.

"I am considering the use of bi-metals." The escape mechanism in a clock
(or
watch) is often temperature compensated but the mechanism is either on
the
"balance" wheel (the radius is changed to vary the angular momentum) or
the
balance spring (the tension being varied). Neither of these align with
the
mechanism of a tempratrimmer.

We recognise humour OK, the problem is we've also been taught not to mock
the afflicted.
When do you have to report back to the nut house? Not too long I hope.

WRONG! It was intended as a joke, but from the headers,
only the NEGATIVE NERDS (of which group you are rapidly
becoming a member; no doubt the reason for your "Upgrade"
to a CB/M3 licence) in general responded.

Your response in general is one of obsessive sneering; a poor
reaction to the justifiable criticism of, and your loss of face due to,
your support for the gangrenous degeneration that is the M3/CB
licence.

A most unconvincing attempt to cover up a major faux pas.
