In his novel Mainspring, Lake created an enormous canvas for storytelling with his hundred mile high Equatorial Wall that holds up the great Gears of the Earth. Now in Escapement, he explores more of that territory. Paolina Barthes is a young woman of remarkable intellectual ability – a genius on the level of Isaac Newton. But she has grown up in isolation, in a small village of shipwreck survivors, on the Wall in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. She knows little of the world, but she knows that England rules it, and must be the home of people who possess the learning that she so desperately wants. And so she sets off to make her way off the Wall, not knowing that she will bring her astounding, unschooled talent for sorcery to the attention of those deadly factions who would use or kill her for it.

One of George Daniels's central contributions to horology is his co-axial escapement. Having observed that the dominant lever escapement begins to change its rate after a year or two - a disturbance caused by the sliding action of the impulse elements of the escapement - Daniels set about developing a mechanism that avoided this problem. The result of his efforts was the co-axial escapement, a mechanism in which he sought to combine the strengths and eliminate the deficiencies of existing watch escapements, the lever escapement foremost among them. First devised in 1977, today it remains largely the same as fitted in watches of Daniels's own manufacture, as well as those of several wrist-watch manufacturers. This book explains the action of the escapement in terms accessible to both expert and layman, and is accompanied by a series of detailed line drawings.

Book 3 Escapements: Clockmakers Newsletter Workshop Series offers help in the subject area clock repairers constantly request. Listen to the ticking of a clock, and you are hearing the escapement at work. As the heart of the timing mechanism, the escapement includes a special wheel, a pallet unit, and either a pendulum or hairspring balance. A defect in the escapement stops a clock or makes it a poor timekeeper. All too often, repairers who are unsure of the proper adjustment or restoration required, guess at the answer and make things worse. There are several types of escapements in clocks. Each requires its own repair procedures. The author has found that many novice repairers are unable to tell one type of escapement from another. Chapter 1, Recoil Escapements, begins with the ancient device that is still the most common style found today. Chapter 2, Deadbeat Escapements, covers the type which is generally found in better timekeepers. Invented in the eighteenth century, it is more difficult to make than the recoil escapement, and it is harder to adjust and repair as well. Chapter 3, Other Escapements, includes features on the balance escapements and hairsprings often used in small clocks. An extensive article by contributing editor Joseph Cerullo is the most complete treatment of the floating balance escapement, a German invention used in a major portion of the small clocks made from the 1960s through the 1980s. Chapter 4, Pendulums & Timekeeping, gives tips on regulating clocks. It also looks at clocks which have been fitted with incorrect pendulums and helps the reader to determine the correct length for a replacement pendulum to be ordered or made.

This book describes in detail how to repair and make the most popular clock escapements: crownwheel and verge, anchor(recoil), deadbeat and Brocot, with information on the more specialist types, such as the pinwheel, gravity and grasshopper escapements. Various types of pendulums and suspensions are also discussed. The emphasis throughout is on practical information, with additional advice on tools and jigs.
