Exactly. The control is single path, master to slave, with no feedback

Untrue.

The matter starts off when the slave signals to the master and drops
the gravity link in the master, then, when the master pendulum is in
a position to accept the impulse from that dropped gravity link, it
signals back to the slave

But ... I'm still trying to google for the exact mechanisms because
most URLs only hint at what is happening. (I'm also awaiting delivery
of a couple of hope-jones' books about electric clocks)


I hope you have more success getting a copy of those books than getting
the PA tuning instructions for a mass produced amateur TX.
