PROCEDURE
The instructions tendered in this document are intended to aid you in the setup and operation of a
130.070 movement. It is recommended that you assemble and adjust the operation of the movement
before installation. Using a timber blank, follow the instructions below to establish the correct
operation of the timepiece.
(See dimensions and adjustments)
1. Fix the Movement in position
2. Install the Pendulum
3. Check clearances and operation
4. Install Hands
When you are satisfied that the movement is fixed securely in position and that the pendulum is
fitted correctly, you may start the adjustment procedures listed below.
Automatic Beat Adjustment:
To begin, start the pendulum swinging.
When the Pendulum is swung wider than its normal working distance, the Pallet
(on top of the movement) will slip on its shaft, as the exaggerated swing reduces, the Pallet ceases
to slip, remaining in a new centrally fixed position.
The result is a balanced period of time marked by the swing of the Pallet and the audible TIC..
TOC.. produced as the Escapement Wheel turns.
Note: After performing this adjustment the distance from the center to the
TIC should be the same as the distance from the center to the TOC.
