This item is a book titled �The Escapements: Their Actions, Construction and Proportion�, written by F.J. Britton. There are 21 illustrations of these different escapements: anchor, cylinder, chronometer, dead beat, duplex, lever, pin pallet, pin wheel and verge. With each different section there is an illustration of the escapement, an explanation on how it works, construction, proportions, and history. This is a great book for clock and watch repairs as the escapement is an area people like to experiment with if a clock or watch won�t run correctly. You need to know how each different escapement operates properly to be able to adjust or repair, so the clock or watch will run as it was originally designed. A very informative and needed book for any horological library. This book has 66 pages, soft cover, published in 1984, size is 8.5 x 5.5 inches.
