This escape wheel actually turns anti-clockwise on this typical short anchor-style French escapement of the late Empire period, found on this clock signed Demannet à Bruxelles.

Lovely curved pallets on a typical 75°-angle found on the early Comtoises. This one is from the Restoration-era and signed Dolger à Issoire.

Interesting shape for this anchor found on this late 18th-C Belgian longcase signed Jacques Minne à Bruges

Unusual repair, this anchor is made of brass, only the impulse planes have been covered with spring steel, on this Belgian longcase signed JD Cornille à Bruxelles.

	Beautiful chronometer platform escapement on this carriage clock signed L.Lange.

This anchor is not really straight on its arbor..... It was found in this wonderful clock depicting America and signed de Verberie & Co à Paris

A recoil anchor escapement that works almost as good as a dead-beat escapement, very short impulse on the anchor. Late 18th Century Belgian 30-hour longcase clock.

Adjustable banking pins on the platform of this Swiss carriage clock, signed Rau & Steinmeyer, Pforzhein & Genève.

An interesting variation of the pendulum of the Empire-period Portico Clock. The pendulum depicting a swinging cherub, attached by a ring around the movement, hung on a knife edge. The connection between the standard recoil anchor and the hanging ring, a horizontal fork.

The crutch fork is pinned to the anchor arbor of this 18th Century 8-day Belgian Longcase Clock. It makes it easy to polish the pivots!
