Deadbeat Escapement of Ingraham Mantel Clock

[@verybigkittens7550]

Just noticed that mine has dead beat, back together, a couple of days ago. Had to make a new click wheel on the going side first. Just wouldn't wind up click kept slipping on the worn teeth. Cut out of 1/8th sheet brass using a bench pin with a piercing saw.Used the original wheels as a template.

@sooth15 (This one needed 13 bushings. This is such a good running movement, and they give them such strong mainsprings, that they will run too long for their own good. Some of these were made with steel plates, and these do tend to cut through the pivots. I would call it a deadbeat, as there seems to be no recoil (or very, very little). Sometimes an escapement is called half deadbeat when it is made like a deadbeat but has recoil because it is not perfect deadbeat.

@Clockhistory ( A continuation of my comment above) Another type of half deadbeat has one recoil pallet and one deadbeat pallet. See my video of the Terry Clock Co. shelf clock escapement for this.

I'm curious to know if this movement needed many bushings. I have worked on a few of these and they all seemed excessively worn. One was so worn on the second time side wheel that the arbor cut into the plate to the point that the arbor tip broke off. Also, are these not a "half deadbeat" escapement for some reason? It seems like a regular deadbeat, though (teeth pointed towards the pallets, same angles on both pallets, etc). I can't remember what qualified as the "half" for a half-deadbeat.
