can someone point me to detail design information for a grasshopper escapement? (my libraries have been no help and i can't find the books "the Lost Science of...
Both of the books you mention have some details about the grasshopper escapement, probably enough to be able to help you construct one. Both books are...
I think either Bill Smith or John Wilding have put out a book on a skeleton clock which uses this style of escapement. This may convertable to the project you...
Hi, Mark. The quick answer is that deadbeat escapements experience no recoil when the escape wheel teeth impact the pallets. I'd be happy to provide you with...
Hi, Mark. A great place to start would be Mark Headrick's site at http://www.abbeyclock.com/escapement.html. He covers many different types of escapements,...

OK, without obtaining the sources I wanted, I managed to design & prototype a grasshopper escapement. It works! But... as I suspected, because the escapement...
Is your remontoir acting over too large an arc? ie if you have it acting at say 10 - 15 degrees either side of the horizontal you would get a more constant...
The remontoire only operates over 22.5 degrees total, and seems to work fine. There is also a radius segment at the end of the remontoire arm, keeping the...
I am not certain here but I think that your pendulum will still beat the same cycles per minute but will have a larger or lesser swing depending on the weight...
Not so. The grasshopper - by design - can only swing the exact same arc cycle after cycle. The only change in swing can be the slight recoil at each pallet...
Hi, A question related to my 18th century longcase semi-regulator movement that I am (slowly) restoring. Known sometimes as a "Gentlemen's regulator" these...
from my understanding of its operation, the big advantage to the dead beat is accuracy. tolerances are finer, and it likes it that way! the old recoil will...
