My Design - Phase 1

Here is the detail of the train, separated and also exploded - this should give you enough information to see how it all fits together.       . The Rachet (from the rear) is quite small and will need separate testing to see if it can hold the weight.  Note only one pawl is ever engaged - is that okay? It's size should slightly reduce the inertia of the Minute wheel.   The depthing slot is shown from the rear.  The arbor supports will be screwed down to the base frame before the cover plate is added.

Finally a general view of the whole clock (minus phase 2 with Leverage pulley). Notice that the Flags are on a separate assembly which can be easily changed.  A fine weight adjustment arm is added to the bottom of the verge.  I prefer the foliot to be positioned to mimic the shape of the crown wheel, rather than look like a flying bird.  Hopefully the lower adjustment weight will allow for this, but if necessary the foliot with be lighten to achieve this.
