Nov 17, 2004 #4 GregLocock Automotive Apr 10, 2001 23,438 Damn, sorry. I guess it'll be an escapement sort of a thing, that is a double-ended hooked lever. As you push it one way the sprag will engage on the tooth one way and lift the other end clear of the other teeth. OK, so I'm not a clockmaker! Cheers Greg Locock Upvote 0 Downvote
