Some of the parts of your watch are co small 'that tlo,ooo of them would not fill a thimble. Yet, there is as much pressure per square inch- on i the balance wheal staff (the axle’ about which the balance wheel swings) as there is on the piston of a locomotive. | Here are some facts which may interest you. A .series of wheels | and pinions called the Tram carries the I power from the main-spring | to the escapement, and the wheel you see moving to .and fro when | the watch is open at the oack is the Balance Wheel. | The Train divides up the force with which the main-spring | unwinds; the eccapement allows this force to escape in measured doses,- the Balance Whet'! swings to-'ar.d fro at a speed regulated' by the Hair or Balance Spring and this governs the ti'mekeepir.g of the watch. The Balance Wheel makes nearly half a million swings in 24 hcurs.'and 150,000,000 sw'.ngs a year, and ir a pocket size watch the rim of the Balance Wheel travels 8,395 miles in a year.
