Any references for layout and construction of dead beat escapements? I have Gazeley/Penman/Rawlings/Britten's books etc but they all seem to be located in the 19th century and depend upon graphic designs rather than by computations and rectangular coordinates. I've built several dead beat movements and they are working well, but still looking for perfection. Any words of wisdom will be happily received. Thanks, Dave Anderson

You might want to check out the "Amateur Telescope Making" books, edited by Ingalls. One of the volumes (#3, I *think*) has extensive information on building clock movements of varying levels of accuracy. Regards Dave Mundt
