When I was a kid, I loved to watch the pendulum swing back and forth and listen to the tick-tock of my grandparents old wall clock. When I was about five, I completely disassembled my parent's mantle clock. It wasn't until many years later that I learned to put them back together and learn about what makes them work. For an interesting document about clock and watch escapements, check this out: http://www.angelfire.com/ut/horology/EscMechanics.pdf For endless hours of entertainment, watch the animated drawings on this website: http://www.angelfire.com/ut/horology/escapement.html -- FL
