2824-2 beating error

[Tom Slijkerman]

Hi guys,

 

Is it correct you need to reach the part where the green arrow is pointing in order to correct the beat error of the 2824-2? What is the blue arrow pointing to?

Do you need to remove the oscillating weight for that? As it seems to be in the way for that...

The fix is much easier when you see how all escapement parts work together. 

The first video explains how the Etachron escapement is made and shows how to check and correct hairspring misalignment, a common ailment:

Beat error correction is much simpler than escapement adjustment but the escapement must be in proper order first.
