When you are satisfied that the movement is fixed securely in position and that the pendulum is
fitted correctly, you may start the adjustment procedures listed below.
Automatic Beat Adjustment:
To begin, start the pendulum swinging.
When the Pendulum is swung wider than its normal working distance, the
Pallet
(on top of the movement) will slip on its shaft, as the exaggerated swing reduces, the Pallet
ceases
to slip, remaining in a new centrally fixed position.
The result is a balanced period of time marked by the swing of the
Pallet
and the audible
TIC..
TOC..
produced as the
Escapement Wheel
turns.
Note
: After performing this adjustment the distance from the center to the
TIC
should be the same as the distance from the center to the
TOC.
