WS-116: Introduction to Servicing the Platform Escapement
Course Dates: June 7-8, 2008
The platform escapement is one of the more complicated of the clock
escapements. Learn how to service these intricate mechanisms in this
2-day workshop. Topics covered will include:

- Nomenclature
- Disassembling the platform
- Cleaning the parts
- Re-assembling the platform
- Lubricating the parts
- Timing and adjusting the platform
- Trouble shooting the escapement
This is a hands-on workshop open to all who are interested, but a
basic knowledge of clock movements and the use of horological tools is
helpful. All materials and tools will be supplied, but students
may bring their own clocks.
The workshop will be held at the NAWCC School of Horology on Saturday
and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. This includes two 15-minute
breaks and 1½ hours for lunch
